THE ADVENTURES OF WHITE TAIL THE DEER - with Bumper the Rabbit and Friends
Author: George Ethelbert Walsh
Publisher: Abela Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 8869096106
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Herein are 16 illustrated stories and adventures about “White Tail the Dear” who lives in the woods and who is a friend to “Bumper the White Rabbit.” This is a companion volume to “Bumper the White Rabbit” which also contains 16 illustrated stories of Bumper and his friends. All boys and girls who love reading and who love animals should become acquainted with Bumper the white rabbit, with Bobby Gray Squirrel, with Buster the Bear, and, of course, with White Tail the deer, for they are all brave and fearless in danger, and so lovable that you won’t lay down any one of the books without saying wistfully, “I almost wish I had them really and truly as friends and not just storybook acquaintances.” That, of course, is a splendid wish; but none of us could afford to have a big menagerie of wild animals, for that’s just what you would have to do if you brought the books to life. White Tail and Bumper have many friends, such as Mr. Blind Rabbit, Fuzzy Wuzz and Goggle Eyes, his country cousins; and Bobby Gray Squirrel had his near cousins, Stripe the chipmunk and Webb the flying squirrel; while Buster was favoured with an endless number of friends and relatives. If we turned them all loose from the books, and put them in a ten-acre lot—but no, ten acres wouldn’t be big enough to accommodate them, perhaps not even a hundred acres. The 16 stories and adventures of Bumper in this volume are: I White Tail Jumps Stepping Stone Brook II Father Buck’s Failure III Young Black Buck’s Challenge IV Father Buck’s Decision V Young Black Buck’s Challenge To A Race VI Downy The Woodpecker Brings Startling News VII A Race With Puma And Timber VIII Mrs. Puma And Timber Fight IX Young Black Buck Has An Accident X White Tail’s Magnanimous Act XI White Tail’s Adventure In The Camp XII White Tail Escapes XIII White Tail Hears Unpleasant News XIV Choosing A New Leader XV The Great Combat XVI White Tail Made Leader Of The Herd So come out into the woods with me, and let us listen and watch, and I promise you it will be worthwhile. This volume is sure to keep you and your young ones enchanted for hours, if not because of the quantity, then the quality of the stories. They will have you and your loved ones coming back for more, time and again. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: White Tail the Deer, bumper the White Rabbit, Puma, Owl, Stepping Stone Brook, Jump, Father Buck, Failure, Young Black Buck, Challenge, Decision, Race, Downy The Woodpecker, Startling News, Puma, Timber, Fight, Accident, Magnanimous Act, Kindness, selfless, Adventure, In The Camp, Escape, freedom, Unpleasant News, Choose, New Leader, Great Combat, Leader Of The Herd, Alpha Male, Washer, Raccoon, Buster, Brown Bear, Mother Wolf

Nobody's Perfect
Author: Anthony Lane
Publisher: Vintage

Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 784
Book Description
Anthony Lane on Con Air— “Advance word on Con Air said that it was all about an airplane with an unusually dangerous and potentially lethal load. Big deal. You should try the lunches they serve out of Newark. Compared with the chicken napalm I ate on my last flight, the men in Con Air are about as dangerous as balloons.” Anthony Lane on The Bridges of Madison County— “I got my copy at the airport, behind a guy who was buying Playboy’s Book of Lingerie, and I think he had the better deal. He certainly looked happy with his purchase, whereas I had to ask for a paper bag.” Anthony Lane on Martha Stewart— “Super-skilled, free of fear, the last word in human efficiency, Martha Stewart is the woman who convinced a million Americans that they have the time, the means, the right, and—damn it—the duty to pipe a little squirt of soft cheese into the middle of a snow pea, and to continue piping until there are ‘fifty to sixty’ stuffed peas raring to go.” For ten years, Anthony Lane has delighted New Yorker readers with his film reviews, book reviews, and profiles that range from Buster Keaton to Vladimir Nabokov to Ernest Shackleton. Nobody’s Perfect is an unforgettable collection of Lane’s trademark wit, satire, and insight that will satisfy both the long addicted and the not so familiar.
