The Adventures of Bobby Coon

When Bobby the Coon awakens from his long winter hibernation, he finds Farmer Brown and his boy chopping down the chestnut tree that is his home. But Bobby's escape attempt results in a broken leg. Will he heal fast enough and well enough for him to find a new home before it's time to hibernate again?

This delightful 1918 volume is part of Burgess's "Bedtime Story-Books" series about the adventures of Buster Bear, Paddy the Beaver, and other enchanting creatures.
