I read all of the Thornton W. Burgess books I could get my hands on when I was a child. I saw this as a free download for my new Kindle and decided to read it again, just for fun.Jerry Muskrat is a delightful story that teaches lessons about nature, friendship, teamwork and taking responsibility. Children of all ages who love Mother Nature and all her creatures will enjoy this story (and the rest of the Thornton W. Burgess collection, as well).The only sad thing about the Kindle version of this book is that the illustrations were not included.
