L. Frank Baum 
Policeman Bluejay 

Although it ranks among the most popular and critically acclaimed of his fictional works, Frank L. Baum did not publish this delightful story for children under his own name — it’s one of only a handful of works that were attributed to a pseudonym, Laura Bancroft. This tale follows the adventures of a kindhearted bird whose job it is to maintain peace and order in the forest.
