Farewell to Shady Glade (School & Library Binding)
Farewell to Shady Glade by Bill Peet (1981, Picture Book)
Bulldozers push the raccoon and his friends from their home, but they are able to find a new one after a terrifying train ride.
Bill Peet worked for Disney animating such classics as 101 Dalmations. His "solo" work, however, eclipses his contributions to Disney's films.
Shady Glade is the peak of Peet's storytelling and artistry. It's a great story about a group of forest creatures who's home is about to be destroyed by the progress of man. They leave their home, ironically, on the very instrument that brought man so quickly across the continent, a train, in search of a new shady glade.
Peet's sketches are beautiful, the story is simple with a moral, and his charaterizations of woodland creatures are classic.
This was my favorite book as a child. I highly recommend it.

| By A Customer I remember this book from my own childhood and its message has never left me: take care of some space for the animals to live. The story has great characters and the illustrations are wonderful. The animal's journey from their doomed home to a new one is well worth sharing with your child. | 15 | ||
