The Adventures of Buster Bear

By: Thornton W. Burgess

Narrated by: Tom Weiss

Thornton W. Burgess was a conservationist and author of children's stories. He loved the beauty of nature and its living creatures so much that he wrote about them for 50 years. By the time he retired, he had written over 170 books and 15,000 stories for the daily newspaper column.

The Adventures of Buster Bear follows a bear who has moved from the Great Woods to the Green Forest. Unknown to the little people of the Green Forest, Buster Bear, although is big and has a grumbly rumbly voice is actually very shy. As with most Burgess books, there is a positive morale to the story.

It Taught My Children about Nature

This book was the key for my 9 year old and go outside and look for nature. We live in the open woods, and I always go with her, we even encounters a couple of frogs and toads, and even a little fawn.

The story was great, and the narrater good, you just have to get used to him, and we listen to the lesson and there some points that make us all laugh.
