The Adventures of Lightfoot the Deer (Alan Rodgers Books)

"Men are strange creatures! I think I'll hunt one some day just to teach him a lesson," says Lightfoot the Deer to his new friend, Peter Rabbit.

Lightfoot is glad of all the animal friends he meets in the Green Forest -- especially Paddy the Beaver, who saves him from harm. But what about these men? There's that strange one -- the farmer. Should Lightfoot trust this man -- when a second one is stalking him with a terrible gun?

Thornton Burgess's tales of woodland and meadow have delighted readers young and old for nearly a century.
