Thornton Waldo Burgess was known as a conservationist, as well as an author of stories for children, and The Adventures of Paddy Beaver is a collection assembled from the tales and articles Burgess published in various newspapers and magazines that combines both interests to make the stories revolving around a cute little beaver named Paddy all the more interesting.Paddy, the young beaver, is a newcomer to the world of the Green Forest. He is still in the process of learning the tricks of his own trade – the building of dams and creating a house from the wood he finds in the forest as well as storing food – and he is also about to learn many great and important lessons as he meets the other inhabitants of the woods such as Ol’ Man Coyote, Jerry Muskrat and many others. Along the stories, he learns how to work with others, how to trust others, how to take care of his environment and how to plan ahead. Paddy proves to be one of the most industrious inhabitants of the forest, earning the appreciation of the other animals inhabiting the woods.The stories are not only entertaining for children, but very educative as well. The children reading the tales or having the tales read to will learn about fundamental human values, about communication and cooperation and they will also learn a lot about Nature and the creatures that dwell the forests. The animals in the stories behave in a way true to their nature and they make sounds typical of them, but they also behave like humans, allowing the writer to teach young readers about the human and the animal world simultaneously. Though some of the animals in the stories are wild, sometimes even cruel, but the stories always end well and Paddy always learns a new lesson.

Paddy the Beaver is a newcomer to the Green Forest. The little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest are wary of strangers. They don't know what to expect of Paddy, especially when he starts building a dam and the water stops flowing to the Laughing Brook. Like all of Thornton Burgess' books, Paddy the Beaver leaves listeners with positive morals and values. Especially interesting in this book are the lessons regarding how beavers actually construct and provide for their dams. Thornton W Burgess was a conservationist and author of children's stories. He loved the beauty of nature and its living creatures so much that he wrote about them for 50 years. By the time he retired, he had written over 170 books and 15,000 stories for a daily newspaper column.
