The Adventures of Old Mr. Toad by Thornton W. Burgess audiobook. The Adventures of Old Mr. Toad is another in the long line of children's books by conservationist Thornton W. Burgess. In this book, we follow the adventures of Old Mr. Toad as he joins the Spring Chorus at the Smiling Pool, shows off his babies, displays his special tongue to Peter Rabbit and has a very special encounter with Buster Bear. We also learn little lessons about life such as pride can burst like a great big bubble, your friends' hidden talents may surprise you and it is considered impolite to watch someone change his clothes - especially when he eats them.

The Adventures of Poor Mrs. Quack by Thornton W. Burgess audiobook. 'Hello, Jerry Muskrat! We'd forgotten all about you,' said Mrs. Quack. 'What was that you said?' Jerry good-naturedly repeated what he had said. Mrs. Quack's face brightened. 'Do you really mean it?' she asked eagerly. 'Do you really mean that you know of a pond where we could live and not be likely to be seen by these two-legged creatures called men?' 'That's what I said,' replied Jerry briefly. 'Oh, Jerry, you're not joking, are you? Tell me you're not joking,' begged Mrs. Quack. 'Of course I'm not joking,' returned Jerry just a little bit indignantly, 'I am not the kind of a fellow to joke people who are in such trouble as you and Mr. Quack seem to be in.'
