About This Book

Aimed at beginning readers, this collection presents short poems and simple prose about household and farm animals, including dogs, cats, birds, poultry, horses, rabbits, and small pets. Brief anecdotes, descriptive pieces, and rhymes portray everyday pet behavior, care tasks, and gentle moral lessons about kindness and responsibility toward animals. Sections group similar creatures and alternate playful vignettes with practical tips for feeding, housing, and helping wildlife. Illustrative scenes and accessible language support early reading and introduce empathy for animals.

The Pussy Cat

A pussy cat came to our door,
That we had never seen before.
He was all cold and wet and thin,
So Mother went and brought him in.
And now he lives with us, and he
Is just as happy as can be—
All round, and warm, and smooth, and fat.
I love that little pussy cat.
