"Mother West Wind 'Where' Stories" by Thornton W. Burgess is a collection of children’s stories written in the early 20th century. The book features various animal characters, such as Peter Rabbit and Grandfather Frog, who embark on a series of adventures, often accompanied by moral lessons related to nature and character. The opening of this collection introduces readers to the lively character of Grandfather Frog as he engages with Peter Rabbit by explaining the origins of his notably large mouth. Peter, a curious and eager young rabbit, becomes fascinated with Grandfather Frog’s story, which reflects themes of discovery and learning about one’s place in the world. As Grandfather Frog recounts tales from the days when frogs ruled the waters, readers are drawn into a whimsical exploration of nature and its wonders, setting the tone for the enchanting stories that follow in the collection.
