Publisher's Summary:
Stories of the woodland folk in their forest homes include: "The Point of View", "A Little Brother to the Bear", "Whitoweek the Hermit Woodcock Genius", "When Upweekis Goes Hunting", "K'Dunk the Fat One", "Moween's Den", "Kingfisher's Kindergarten", "Pekompf's Cunning", "Animal Surgery", and "Hunting Without a Gun".
Mooweesuk the Coon is called the bear's little brother by both Indians and naturalists, because of the many ways in which he resembles the "big prowler in the black coat". An absorbing chapter on the coon's secret habits begins this volume, followed by stories about the woodcock, the wildcat, the toad, and many other animals. Two chapters remarkable for their keen insight into the hidden life of animals close this volume, one on "Animal Surgery", describing some of the ways in which wild animals treat their wounds; the other on "Hunting without a Gun", showing the joy of following even the large and dangerous animals with the desire only to be near and understand them.
Members Reviews:
More research required- The Nature Fakers Controversy
Based upon the review by M.E. Peterson, I was intrigued by the "nature fakers" comment and did a little more research since this was a book that I and my children enjoy. So, after a quick Google search, I found out about the Nature Fakers Controversy and it was interesting reading. Wikipedia had an interesting article as well as other places. As M. E. Peterson stated, Burroughs and Theodore Roosevelt did condemn William Long as well as others (including Jack London and Ernest Seton) for their writing on their observations of nature. This controversy arose from differing views on animals and their instincts, their ability to teach their young, personifying animals as having abilities to learn and change, and the true breadth of nature study. Anyhow, I would encourage anyone who is interested to do their own research and not be turned off by the one star review. In our home we really enjoy some of these nature books based on observations (Call of the Wild or Black Beauty anyone?) and the field guide type books.
