Jasper Jay really is a good sort of a fellow even though he does make a

dreadful racket when he is around; but that is his way of talking. He
just likes to tease for the fun of teasing and so naturally he gets into
lots of scraps and seems bound to get into more. Of course, lots of
folks in Pleasant Valley don't like him because he plays tricks and
pranks on them and makes them feel all ruffled up. Why, he even thinks
he can spoil the Singing Society, but do you know, the Society fools
Jasper himself. And that time Jimmy Rabbit teaches Jasper Jay some
manners down by the cedar tree--the poor jay stays there until his feet
are frozen in the water before he finds out--well--you may discover for
yourself what happens next.
