(Warning: it’s childhood nostalgia day here at GirlHacker!) While doing my usual used bookstore perusal of the children’s section, I came across three old volumes by Thornton Burgess. I had forgotten about his books. My father used to read them to me at bedtime. I adored the loveably flawed animal characters he created. I think Grandfather Frog was my favorite. And he wrote many more books than I realized! 171 on this list.
