Synopsis

There's nothing very different about Southerners...except for the way they think and feel and act. Southerners can be perplexing to outsiders and amusing to themselves. North Carolina native Mary Norton Kratt deftly and simply delights the reader with verbal images of the Southern state of mind and being. A warm and whimsical book that will be bought and enjoyed on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Animals are depicted in their natural settings as, one by one, baby animals are gently put to bed by their mothers and fathers.
