Father Thrift and His Animal Friends

Joseph Charles Sindelar and Helen Geraldine Hodge

A queer little old man walks into the forest and decides to stay; the animals soon know him as Father Thrift. Joseph Sindelar's gentle chapters visit the great gray owl, explain what made the bear sick, and set woodpeckers and busy beavers to helpful work. Kind lessons in saving, sharing, and industry, sized for the youngest listeners. A forest full of good habits. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
