Our Favorite Thornton Burgess Books

We fell in love with Thornton Burgess’ writings and adventures in nature this year.  The whimsical stories, peppered with actual animal studies and examinations, have captured our hearts.  We’ve laughed at these beloved woodland animals and their adventures, we’ve held our breath as they narrowly escaped predators and we’ve cheered them on as they overcame obstacles and hurdles.  Best of all, our hearts have grown a little bigger for ALL our forest friends as we’ve taken the time to understand their purpose and abilities.  Here are a few of our favorite Thornton Burgess books!
