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

Our Dove

One day my mother saw a dove upon the porch.
The dove was not at all afraid.
It was so tame that mother thought this dove belonged to some one.
But no one claimed it.
My mother took the dove into our house.
At first she put it into a basket.
Later she bought a cage for it.
Now we keep the bird in a cage.
Sometimes we let the dove out of the cage.
Then we have a hard time catching it.
I like this dove.
