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.

Our Monkey

Now, instead of a fox, we have a monkey.
We have a trapeze for him.
He climbs up this trapeze.
He swings himself by his tail.
We feed the monkey bread.
He likes peanuts too.
Sometimes he shakes hands with us.
We talk to him.
He seems to understand what we say to him.
He acts just like a little old man.
