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 Monkey Man

The sun in winter goes away
And makes you light the light,
But in the summer time it’s day
All day until it’s night.
So we just play until at last
We don’t know what to do.
And then the monkey man comes past
And brings the monkey, too.

Edmund Vance Cooke from Cheerful Children
