Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Old Mother West Wind (Old Mother West Wind #1)

This is the kind of book I would check out from the library and which would normally be rejected at bedtime for a story with more pictures or something less "babyish" or of the character of--not my favorite--Diary of a Wimpy Kid. But both my 10-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter listened with great interest to every story in this collection. Though they were written early in the 20th century, the stories still have some kind of magical appeal that taps into the very thing I am clinging to in my children--their innocence and interest in nature, even if it is anthropomorphized like all their still-cherished stuffed animals. When we finished the last story, both kids were disappointed. I told them I would find more--and I have: Thornton Burgess's "How" stories--and they went to sleep happy.

I'd forgotten all about Mother West Winds children, the Merry Little Breezes. And all of the fun characters of the forest Peter Rabbit, Jimmy Skunk, Sammy Jay, Grandfather Frog, to name just a few. This was a delight to read.

Adorable short story's about Peter rabbit and friends

A lovely book from my childhood that I read to my almost 4-year-old. She looked forward to the funny characters and giggled about the slippery slide. I think it activated her imagination, which is really what the goal is.

Good, short instructive stories.



Lovely children's book (this volume is actually a collection of two) featuring a meadow full of animal characters in short, moral stories. The title is named after a woman (the personification of wind) who comes into the meadow every morning to drop off her Merry Little Breezes who blow through the plant life and play with the animals who live there. Recurring landmarks like the Smiling Pool and the Crooked Little Path become as familiar as Grandfather Frog, Johnny Chuck, and Reddy Fox. It's

I love the stories. However, I am virtually certain the language was changed in places which annoys me. Certainly there was no claim to being unabridged but I think they should acknowledge the change. I realize some things are dated in these books. All the animals are male, except for mothers and Grannies (Granny Fox). The "females" are Old Mother West Wind and Dame Nature which is not a phrase I remember from the original series. I didn't find Hague's illustrations all that interesting in this
