The Tale of Reddy Woodpecker
Produced by Al Haines
"The Tale of Reddy Woodpecker" by Arthur Scott Bailey is a children's storybook written in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. This delightful tale falls within the genre of children's literature and is part of the "Tuck-Me-In Tales" series, which aims to entertain and educate young readers through engaging narratives and charming characters. The book likely revolves around themes of friendship, nature, and the challenges of different bird species interacting with one another in their habitat. In the story, Reddy Woodpecker is a bold, vibrant newcomer to Pleasant Valley, eliciting a mix of curiosity and concern among the local bird community. His arrival stirs up gossip and suspicion, particularly from Mrs. Robin, who fears for her eggs and nestlings. Throughout the narrative, Reddy's interactions with various characters like the timid Mr. Chippy, his cousin Mr. Flicker, and the scheming Mr. Crow, unfold a comical tale of misunderstandings, jealousy, and community dynamics. Reddy’s enthusiasm leads to many humorous situations, including his experiences drumming on a tin roof and his encounters with Frisky Squirrel and Ferdinand Frog. Ultimately, the story conveys the importance of understanding and cooperation among all creatures in nature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
