Excerpt: ... a tooth in his whole life. It would have been a shame if Frisky Squirrel had lost one of his sharp, white teeth. But Frisky didn't know that. He thought it would be fun.

Excerpt: ... a tooth in his whole life. It would have been a shame if Frisky Squirrel had lost one of his sharp, white teeth. But Frisky didn't know that. He thought it would be fun. And he sat down and told Jimmy Rabbit he was ready. So Jimmy Rabbit stepped up to him. But he hadn't any more than closed his p. 61 pincers when Frisky Squirrel began to scream. Jimmy Rabbit was so surprised that he let the pincers drop and jumped back. "My goodness!" he said. "How you startled me! I didn't hurt you, did I?" "Yes, you did!" Frisky answered.

"Do!" said Jimmy Rabbit. "And after you've seen how easily the thing's done, I've no doubt you will want me to 'tend to your case." He was very cheerful. But Frisky Squirrel did not appear very happy. His lip pained him terribly. p. 63 You may have heard somewhere of Uncle Jerry Chuck. He was an old woodchuck who lived in Farmer Green's pasture.
