Just as great as I remembered

My mom read all the Thorton W. Burgess books to us as small children. We checked them out of the library, and I loved them as a kid. I was so pleased to see these republished again by Dover. I think they were out of print for a while. I have bought as many of the titles as I can find, and have now started reading them to my 2 year old. The Grandfather Frog story was so well written it captivated his interest, and this is amazing because there are only a few black and white pictures interspersed among the chapters. I am so glad my kids can enjoy these stories, too. They have subtile morals embedded in the stories about not being greedy, and being helpful, etc, that are nice, too. We also bought Lang Elliott's book on frog songs to compliment this story book. They now know exactly how Grandfather frog's "chugarum" is supposed to sound.
