Mother West Wind "When" Stories
Thornton Waldo Burgess and Harrison Cady
When did Mr. Bluebird win his beautiful coat? Long ago, when the world was young, and Burgess tells it the way grandfathers should. These 'when' stories reach back to Old Mr. Gopher's first pockets, Old Mr. Grouse's snowshoes, and the sad day Old Mr. Panther lost his honor. Green Forest history, bedtime length. Ask 'when' and get a story. 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.
