Illustrative scenes and accessible language support early reading and introduce empathy for animals.

A Little Dog

I have a little dog,
With soft, long hair that curls,
And bright, black, sparkling eyes—
And he loves little girls.
He never barks or bites,
His temper is so mild,
And he dearly loves to play
With every little child.
