    Original Harrison Cady Illustrations
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 1, 2011*

(This review is for the paperback edition published by Dover Publications in 2000)This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. Plus, unlike many of these Dover editions of Thornton Burgess' books, it has honest-to-god original Harrison Cady illustrations.Harrison Cady did two sets of drawings for this title:-- Published by Little, Brown, with 6 full-page grayscale illustrations.-- Published by Grosset & Dunlap, with 14 full-page line drawings, including line-drawing versions of all 6 original grayscale illustrations in the Little, Brown editions, plus many smaller line drawings.Cady had also made a small illustration for each chapter for the original newspaper serialization of this story in 1914. Each of those was one newspaper column wide.This Dover edition has all the drawings, both full-page and small, from the Grosset & Dunlap editions. And they are very nicely reproduced. The only thing the Grosset & Dunlap editions have over this Dover edition is that the "Large, Easy-To-Read Type" might be easier on early readers. But if you're reading to your young kids, as I am, this Dover edition, with far more words per page, has the advantage that the pictures are in front of your kids longer and for a higher proportion of pages.Oddly, the copyright page says "This Dover edition is an unabridged republication of the work first published by Little, Brown, and Company, Boston, in 1917. It contains the original Harrison Cady illustrations." But that is not quite true. Aside from the front cover, it does not contain the 6 Cady illustrations from the 1917 Little, Brown edition. Instead, it contains the 14 Cady illustrations from the 1951 Grosset & Dunlap edition.If you like these illustrations, you might want to also look for a used Little, Brown edition. The Little, Brown grayscale illustrations better show Cady's remarkable vision for Burgess' creatures. But even so, I generally prefer the Grosset & Dunlap illustrations, because they are more charming, even though they are simpler. Cady did them decades later, after he had grown as an artist.Anyway, kudos to Dover on getting it so right for this title. And at such a low price!

    Ah, Thornton Burgess!

I love these books.  They're well written, use excellent vocabulary, teach kids about animals, and teach great life lessons.  I read this every year to my kindergarten students.  They beg for more.  Paddy the Beaver teaches the value of hard work.

    Great read for young readers
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2008*

My girlfriend told me she had read this series as a child but thought they were out of print.  I purchased them as a gift for her family to share and they love them.  I've read some of the stories at night to my children - 3, 6 and 7.  They enjoy the stories.  My 7 year old has read some but it may be more appropriate for an older reader.  Some of the antics take place over several short chapters and need to be summarized so the kids can follow - for example, one animal tricks another animal into going into a barrel lying on its side at the top of a hill (can you see a problem!).  The barrel rolls down the hill and the animal looks out and sees another animal who gets the blame.  Overall, fun for kids and grownups (MUCH better than Junie B. Jones!)
