Download Description
Farmer Brown's boy, up in the tree by the nest of Hooty the Owl in the lonesome corner of the Green Forest, was fighting a battle. No, he wasn't fighting with Hooty or Mrs. Hooty. He was fighting a battle right inside himself. It was a battle between right and wrong. Once upon a time he had taken great delight in collecting the eggs of birds, in trying to see how many kinds he could get. Then as he had come to know the little forest and meadow people better, he had seen that taking the eggs of birds is very, very wrong, and he had stopped stealing them. He bad declared that never again would he steal an egg from a bird.

Listed reading level is not age appropriate January 2, 1999

I do not recommend Thornton Burgess' animal stories as baby level. Chapter books are not appropriate for babies. This book is appropriate for children ages 5 to 8. His books are full of wonderful stories which incoporate natural animal behavioural concepts which are impossible for infants to understand.
