Summary

In "The Tale of Fatty Coon," Arthur Scott Bailey crafts a charming narrative that vividly captures the adventures of Fatty, a whimsical raccoon whose insatiable curiosity often leads him into trouble. Written in a playful and accessible style, the story immerses readers in the richly detailed world of forest creatures, showcasing Bailey's ability to blend humor and moral lessons seamlessly within a captivating plot. The book reflects the broader literary trend of early 20th-century children's literature that emphasizes anthropomorphism, providing young audiences with relatable characters and underlying themes of friendship, caution, and the importance of wisdom. Arthur Scott Bailey, an American author primarily recognized for his work in children's literature, drew on his own experiences and love for nature to create enchanting tales filled with anthropomorphic animals. His background as a journalist, coupled with his profound understanding of childhood psychology, allowed him to convey complex themes in straightforward, yet engaging narratives. "The Tale of Fatty Coon" exemplifies Bailey's dedication to entertaining while educating young minds, a hallmark of his writing throughout his career. I highly recommend "The Tale of Fatty Coon" to readers of all ages who seek a delightful adventure blended with timeless lessons. This enchanting work not only sparks the imagination of children but also resonates with adults seeking nostalgia, making it an essential addition to any children's literature collection.

    Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
The mouse ran up the clock. 
The clock struck one, 
The mouse ran down, 
Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
WITHIN the hollow wall of an old brick mansion, away up near the roof, there lived a family of mice. It was a snug little home, pleasant and quiet, and as dark as any mouse could desire. Mamma Mouse liked it because, as she said, the draught that came through the rafters made it cool in summer, and they were near enough to the chimney to keep warm in winter-time. 
Besides the Mamma Mouse there were three children, named Hickory and Dickory and Dock. There had once been a Papa Mouse as well; but while he was hunting for food one night he saw a nice piece of cheese in a wire box, and attempted to get it. The minute he stuck his head into the box, however, it closed with a snap that nearly cut his head off, and when Mamma Mouse came down to look for him he was quite dead. The story becomes better after this somber opening, trust me. Find out why those mice ran up that clock.
