Description As Books The Tale of Jeremy Vole (Riverbank Stories #1)
I've owned this one since I was a kid but finally got a chance to read it to my 5-year-old. It was a simple but surprisingly powerful story.A vole named Jeremy is approached by a large bird, the Great Blue Heron, and told to warn the creatures of riverbank about an impending flood.
The problem is, none of them want to believe Jeremy or necessarily believe in a Great Blue Heron. And even when the weather gets worse and the water starts rising, even then Jeremy has trouble convincing his friends and neighbours.
While I could tell my son was slighly upset by how many of Jeremy's friends turn against him, as a story about telling the truth in the face of opposition and disbelief, I thought it was marvellous. I could only hope my kids learn a lesson in character from a character like Jeremy.
Now out of print, I believe.

Excellent books. One of those stories I come back to every now and again. This is my favorite in the series.So, the kids were finally amenable to continuing. They didn't beg for it, but when I said The End, they were disappointed. So, reasonably successful. I thought it was a well-done children's chapter book.
This is a really sweet, delightful story about a introverted vole named Jeremy tasked with informing his animal friends about an impending disaster. I think this is a wonderful book for kids, and that it has a important message.

I loved this as a kid! :)
Jeremy is a very quiet vole who likes nothing better than staying quietly in his snug home on the bank of the canal. During his early morning swim one morning, Jeremy bumps into the legendary Great Blue Heron, who commissions him to warn the Riverbank about the terrible flood about to hit them. All Jeremy wants to do is hide in his safe little hole, but he knows that the lives of the other animals depend on him.I found this to be a truly delightful and inspiring story. The descriptions and
