Description:

When God made the world He planted the flowers and the grass and the trees to make things beautiful to look upon. And when He made the animals we believe that he intended them to be the friends of man. Isn't the dog the best playmate that a boy can have? And the soft, dainty, cunning bit of a fluffy ball of a kitten who comes rubbing its downy sides against the tiny girl's skirts begging for a return caress, is there a play-fellow more lovable? The horse who has been man's friend in times of trouble and of peace, bearing his burdens or scampering with him over the fields and roads in play; the cow who has sent her good milk to the babies of all time; the sheep and the goats who have given of their wool to keep us warm, we love them all dearly.

In this volume we have tried to make friends and playmates of all of the animals. And we're sure you'll love them too!
