Tommy Fox was having a delightful time. If you could have come upon him in the woods you would have been astonished at his antics. He leaped high off the ground, and struck out with his paws. He opened his mouth and thrust his nose out and then clapped his jaws shut again, with a snap. Tommy burrowed his sharp face into the dead leaves at his feet and tossed his head into the air. And then he jumped up and barked just like a puppy.

Arthur Scott Bailey was particularly accomplished at incorporating nature facts and lore into his bedtime stories series, but was also happy to follow the tradition of wise owls, crafty foxes, and the like. You little reader will meet a delightful and clever character here, but also learn a bit about foxes.Bailey wrote more than forty children's books between 1915 and 1929. This volume was published in 1915 as part of his series "Sleepy-Time Tales". He was a contemporary of Thornton Burgess, who wrote between 1910 and the 1950's, and his style, themes and characters are very similar to those of Burgess. The Newark Evening News, as quoted in a Wikipedia article, described his work as follows: "Mr. Bailey centered all his plots in the animal, bird and insect worlds, weaving natural history into the stories in a way that won educator's approval without arousing the suspicions of his young readers. He made it a habit to never 'write down' to children and frequently used words beyond the average juvenile vocabulary, believing that youngsters respond to the stimulus of the unfamiliar." That description is exactly spot on for this book and for the other books that are Kindle freebies on the Amazon site; it looks like all 40 are available for download.
These books are cheerful, inventive and exciting. They do not minimize the dangers of the animal world. While the Burgess books, ("Old Mother West Wind", "Danny Meadow Mouse", and so on), are a bit mild and sentimental, the characters in Bailey's books can be grumpy and predatory, and will bite when aroused. That said, this is not "The Call of Wild", filled with violence and survival tales. Traditional virtues - honesty, reliability, loyalty, perseverance - are encouraged and rewarded. And the stories are generally peaceful and calm, as befits collections of bedtime stories.
So, if you would to sample an older, but not oldfashioned, set of tales for your littler listeners/readers, it seems that this volume or a similar volume, (just pick your favorite animal), might serve very well.
