About This Book

A comical young pig with one squinting eye grows up on a farm and, in a series of short episodes, wanders through misadventures: befriending a dog and other animals, running away and becoming lost, returning home, joining a boy, taking a journey that includes a balloon ride, learning tricks, and encountering a merry monkey and a squirrel. The tales mix gentle humor, animal antics, and simple moral notes about curiosity, friendship, and the comfort of home, presented in light, illustrated vignettes aimed at young readers.

THE KNEETIME ANIMAL STORIES
By Richard Barnum

In all nursery literature animals have played a conspicuous part; and the reason is obvious for nothing entertains a child more than the funny antics of an animal. These stories abound in amusing incidents such as children adore and the characters are so full of life, so appealing to a child's imagination that none will be satisfied until they have met all of their favorites--Squinty, Slicko, Mappo, Tum Tum and Don.

Squinty, the Comical Pig
Slicko, the Jumping Squirrel
Mappo, the Merry Monkey
Tum Tum, the Jolly Elephant
Don, A Runaway Dog.
