It’s noisy – too noisy – where Owl lives at the “top of the oak, near the clearing.” He has a problem and an idea about how to solve it. He’ll write a letter to the owners of Pine: A Bookshop:
Dear Sirs:
I received your marvelous catalog in the mail and
spent many long hours reading the descriptions of
all the books. Enclosed is my order form for How to
Soundproof Your Forest Dwelling,” so that I might read
in peace, alone.
Sincerely yours,
Owl T. Fencepost
Ever helpful, B. Squirrel sends her reply: the book is out of stock. Is there another he’d like? Of course, there is: The Can-Do Guide to Moving to a Remote Tropical Island. And so begins a on-going conversation of letters sent between Bessie, the owner of the bookstore and Owl.
