The Bedtime Book that Begs to be Read Aloud Old Mother West Wind Tales is a delightfully updated version of the century-old classic by Thornton W. Burgess, rewritten in a lyrical and easier-to-read-aloud poetical style for the reading pleasure of today's moms and dads. Children delight in the mischievous antics of the animals and birds of the Grassy Green Meadow, the Pollywig Pool, and the Windily Wood. All the old favorites--Johnny Chuck, fly-gobbling Grandfather Frog, Jimmy Skunk, and sly Reddy Fox-are joined in their adventures by new characters such as Billy Brock, little Zoëy Otter, and her brother Otty, Sneezle the Weasel, and Toby Cockles the Terrapin. Fun facts about the real-life habits of the animals portrayed in the stories are found after each chapter, offering educational insights into wildlife. These gentle rhyming bedtime tales from a timeless world tend to charm adults as well as children. Discover... · How the Merry Little Breezes Saved Mrs. Redwing's Eggs · Why Grandfather Frog has no tail · Why Jimmy Skunk wears stripes · How Pee-Tee the Prankster Rabbit got his Comeuppance. · How Reddy Fox had a Terrible Fright · How Little Zoëy Otter Saved Grandfather Frog How Mischievous Acts have Consequences · How Johnny Chuck found the Best Thing in the World Sixteen wholesome stories encourage friendship, kindness, heroism, justice, and above all, a love of nature and respect for creatures of the wild. They also cover vanity, pride, wilfulness, bullying, boasting, mischievous pranks, and their karmic comeback. The tales have gentle moral pointers that show the consequences of certain actions, such as, "Whatever you do, will come back on you." The book will appeal to lovers of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit, the Brambly Hedge books, and Wind in the Willows. Disclaimer: Although the 'Look Inside' section may show photographs of the animals and birds in color, the paperback only has them in black and white due to pricing constraints.
Autorenporträt
Hi folks! My name is Muz Murray. Once upon a time... I was a surrealist painter, a scenery and costume designer in the theatre, actor, songwriter, nightclub singer, and world-travelling adventurer. Escaping death by inches while hitchhiking all down Africa, and clinging on to the outside of an express train all through the night as a wandering monk in India, during my search for spiritual knowledge from masters of many traditions, the media have dubbed me "The Indiana Jones of Yoga."

Author of four spiritual self-help books and two for children, as well as several study CDs, over 50 videos on YouTube, plus interviews on BBC TV, Dutch and Italian TV networks, and a life-story documentary on Netflix in a series named Fractals.
Finally, after half a century as a spiritual mentor, teaching yoga secrets all over the world, it is now my pleasure to live a hermit-style life in the hills of southern Portugal, with a thousand geckos (and the denizens of the Grassy Green Meadow and Windily Wood) as my only companions.
