The Adventures of Johnny Chuck by Thornton Burgess, Fiction, Animals, Fantasy & Magic

When winter was over, Johnny Chuck woke from hibernation's slumber with a strange yearning in his heart. He gave up his old burrow and went off in search of a new home and a new adventure.
And up on the meadow, he found an adventure as special as all creation: he found a sweet young girl chuck named Polly Chuck, and he knew he had to have her for his own. . . .
