Jerry Muskrat had been looking very sharply at the bank on which Little Joe Otter was sitting. “I think Paddy the Beaver has begun work on the dam he warned us about,” said Jerry.“What makes you think so?” asked Billy Mink. Jerry just pointed to the bank. Everybody looked and they could hardly believe their eyes when they saw a wet line running all the way along the bank which showed that the water was not as high as it had been. They just stared and stared with eyes and mouths wide open, and even while they looked the water dropped ever so little.Thornton W. Burgess originally wrote the chapters that would become "The Adventures of Paddy the Beaver" for newspaper serialization. They appeared in newspapers Nov 1st through Dec 8th, 1913. There were 32 daily installments, Sundays excluded.When they were published as a book over three years later, in March 1917, ten chapters were removed, probably due to space constraints. This edition is the first time those deleted chapters have been in front of readers since Americans opened their newspapers in the winter of 1913.The 10 deleted chapters follow the animals as they worry about the effect of Paddy's new pond on the Smiling Pool and learn more about how Paddy builds his house, and finish the subplot about Farmer Brown's Boy discovering Paddy's Pool.“Thief! thief! thief!” screamed Sammy Jay, hopping up and down, he was so angry. Paddy the Beaver kept right on working, paying no attention to Sammy. This made Sammy more angry than ever. He kept coming nearer and nearer until at last he was in the very tree that Paddy happened to be cutting. Paddy’s eyes twinkled.Thornton W. Burgess was immensely popular in the 1910s and 1920s, and remained very popular for generations afterward. It isn’t just that his stories are very entertaining.

When Paddy the Beaver decides to finally build a dam to create the lovely pond he longs for in the Green Forest, he attracts lots of attention from his woodland neighbors: no one has ever seen a busy beaver at work before! But all those creatures cause all sorts of unexpected problems. And then Farmer Brown's boy gets curious about what's going on. Will Paddy be able to finish his dam and enjoy the peace of the woods again? One of the most popular writers for children in the English language, American author and naturalist THORNTON WALDO BURGESS (1874-1965) produced more than 170 books and 15,000 stories featuring a bevy of animal characters that continue to charm children and adults alike while also teaching gentle lessons about wildlife conservation. This delightful 1917 volume is part of Burgess's "Bedtime Story-Books" series about the adventures of Buster Bear, Joe Otter, and other enchanting creatures.

2 Audio CD's - 1 Hour and 37 Minutes. The Adventures of Paddy Beaver another fun and exciting tale of the habits of our animal friends written by the great Thornton W. Burgess. There is great alarm among the creatures of the Green Forest, the waters of the Laughing Brook and Smiling Pool have become a mere trickle, and they need to find out why! They discover that the cause is a newcomer, Jerry Muskrat's cousin, Paddy the Beaver. Apparently, Paddy has come south to make himself a new home, and, being a beaver, that means stopping the waters of the Laughing Brook and Smiling Pool to make a new pond for himself and a comfortable new home of sticks and mud. But what will happen to the waterways in the Green Forest? In this adventure we learn how Paddy builds his dam and his house, and how he stores his food. We also learn little lessons about life, such as the importance of planning before doing, caring for Nature, trusting others, the benefits of working together, and how wonderful it is to have a job one can sink one’s teeth into. Our CDs are packaged in premium DVD cases with CD labeling printed right on the CD in full color. We do not use paper stick-on labels, these tend to peel off over time and can really jam up car CD players and computers. We chose to use DVD cases for our CD sets, as we have found they hold up better in shipping and in regular usage than the typical CD jewel case.

This book is the fifteenth in Thornton Burgess’s Bed-Time Storybook series, preceded by The Adventures of Old Man Coyote, and followed by The Adventures of Poor Mrs. Quack and many others. The Adventures of Paddy the Beaver was originally published in 1917 by Little, Brown. Paddy the Beaver causes quite a bit of curiosity among the little folk of the Green Forest when he decides to build a dam. Everyone is puzzled as he cuts trees and sticks and drags them to the Laughing Brook. What he is building looks nothing like the smooth, grassy dam Farmer Brown built. Will it even work? Then he started building a house, only he doesn’t leave any room at all in it for a bedroom. Could Paddy the Beaver really not know how to build a house? And what happens when Old Man Coyote finds out how slow Paddy is on the dry land?
