The stories dealing with the animals in their own land originated from Dr. Pyle when he would make up stories for his own children when they were young. "Scamper Squirrel" first appeared on the pages of a thirty-cent booklet (still available in pamphlet form), and so many children have eagerly read it and clamored for more such stories, that this volume of five animal land adventures is the result. May God bless all those who will be delighted by these tales from the forest.
