Beschreibung

In "Old Mother West Wind (Illustrated)," Thornton Burgess crafts a delightful children'Äôs narrative steeped in anthropomorphism, where the natural world is brought to life through the charming tales of woodland creatures. Burgess employs a lyrical style, harmonizing rhythmic prose with vivid illustrations that enhance the storytelling experience. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book reflects a growing societal appreciation for environmentalism and the innocence of childhood, intertwining playful fables with subtle lessons on nature and morality that resonate with young readers and educators alike. Thornton Burgess, an esteemed American author and conservationist, dedicated much of his life to promoting the appreciation of nature through literature. His deep-seated love for the outdoors and wildlife was rooted in his childhood experiences, which inspired him to create a world where children could explore the wonders of nature through storytelling. Burgess'Äôs extensive involvement with organizations, such as the Massachusetts Audubon Society, further underscores his commitment to environmental education, making "Old Mother West Wind" a celebration of the natural world seen through the eyes of youthful curiosity. This enchanting book is a must-read for children and adults alike who seek to reconnect with nature's beauty and the simple joys of storytelling. The engaging tales of Old Mother West Wind and her animal friends offer more than just entertainment; they serve as an invitation to foster a lifelong love and respect for the natural world, making it a timeless addition to any literary collection.

    Mama and Papa Poss huddle up by their fireplace as thunder crashes outside when all of a sudden: bam, bam, bam! It’s a poor, soggy, vagabond bullfrog seeking shelter from the storm. Turns out, he’s no ordinary bullfrog. He sings the blues, and he was on his way to Chicago when the squall sent him adrift. Storm or no storm, a chance to play with local legends like Muddy Panther and Chimp Diddley in the windy city is worth pulling a few strings. And good thing they do: Quentin Tarantula happens to be in need of musicians to record the soundtrack to his upcoming film, Blues Sisters. 
    
    The narrated story is followed by the songs "The Bullfrog Blues" and "Sugar Blues."
    
    “Making It Big in Chicago!” is the fifth story in the “We’re a Possum Family Band” series, which follows Mama and Papa Poss on their travels that bring them across North America to the birthplaces of Cajun, jazz, country, rock’n’roll, blues, and traditional Quebecois music.
