Jerry Muskrat and Little Joe Otter, with the help of old Grandfather Frog, fix things up fine. But the traps are only the beginning of their troubles -- for then the Smiling Pool stops smiling, and the Laughing Brooks stops laughing! Thornton Burgess (1874-1965) expressed his love of the outdoors in this delightful tale of woodland and meadow.
