Whitefoot the Wood Mouse - Thornton W. Burgess

This is the story of Whitefoot the wood mouse, the most timid and shy creature in all the Green Forest. You see, Whitefoot has many enemies who would love nothing more than to make him their dinner. Despite the many perils Whitefoot often faces, he "is one of those wise little people who never allow unpleasant things of the past to spoil their present happiness, and who never borrow trouble from the future." Read about Whitefoot's adventures as he searches for safe places to live, tries to avoid the keen eyes and noses of his enemies, and makes new friends along the way.
