Work, work all the night While the stars are shining bright; Work, work all the day -- I've got no time to play!Everyone is curious! Farmer Brown's boy cannot figure it out. Then Peter Rabbit and Jerry Muskrat set their minds to the problem and try to wrestle it to the ground. What is happening in the peaceful meadow where the stream flowed so quietly before -- and what does Paddy Beaver have to do with it?Thornton W. Burgess, famous for his tales of "the lesser folk in fur and feathers," first entertained young readers in the 1910s . . . and his books have kept doing so, decade after decade, down to the present day.

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.
