by Thornton W. BURGESS (1874 - 1965)02 - Why Peter Rabbit Cannot Fold His Hands
Thornton W. Burgess was a conservationist and prolific author of children's books. His gently humorous stories about the animals of the meadows and woods teach little lessons about getting along with others; they are perfect bedtime stories for small children. (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden)
