I have a patron who remembers reading a series of books with animal characters when he was 8-10 years old.  He believes the books would have been published around the 1950s.  The books contained illustrations, although he cannot remember whether they were color or b/w. The books were not picture books but more like beginning readers.  The animals behaved as animals except they could talk and do people-like activities.  He is certain they did not wear clothing.  When I showed him books by Robert Lawson, he said I was close but still did not get it exactly.  Another clue is when a new animal character was introduced, the next book had that animal as the main character.  The animal he remembers most is a woodchuck.  I thought maybe it was the series by Marion Holt  (Willie Woodchuck #11)but the animals do wear clothing.
 
Any thoughts....
