Summary "Whitefoot the Wood Mouse" by Thornton W. Burgess is a fictional children's book likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Whitefoot, a cheerful and wise little wood mouse, who spends a happy winter in Farmer Brown's sugar-house, eluding numerous natural enemies. The narrative highlights themes of happiness, friendship, and the struggles of a small creature navigating a world filled with dangers. The opening portion of the book introduces Whitefoot as a contented character who embraces the present and finds solace in his cozy winter nesting place. Despite his numerous enemies, including bears and owls, Whitefoot manages to remain optimistic and eventually builds a friendship with Farmer Brown's boy, who provides him with food. However, as the winter progresses, Whitefoot's home becomes threatened when the boy begins to use the wood pile for a fire, leaving Whitefoot anxious about his safety. Throughout these early chapters, readers are invited into Whitefoot's quaint life, where joy and worry coexist, setting the stage for his evolving journey and relationships within the forest.
