Funny Animals

This charming book for young children and those beginning to read introduces the letters of the alphabet written in rhyme. Each letter introduces a different animal along with a simple fact or humor to describe it. First published in 1919, this book was produced by the Henry Altemus Company as part of their ‘Wee Books for Wee Folks’ series. A good book for listening along with a child since some of the vocabulary used might not be familiar yet to the very young listener or beginning reader.

Enjoy this collection of funny animal stories. In "Small Mouse, Big Trouble", a trickster mouse causes trouble for a young girl. Can she outsmart the mouse, or will he have her room all to himself? When it seems like the mouse might just get his way, the clever girl uses a game that her father taught her to outwit the mouse. You’ll also find four other stories featuring some entertaining animals: "The Conduit Mouse", "Eudora Entwhistle and the Geese of Macadoodle-by-the-Sea", "The Pirates and the Peacock", and "Dragon Treat".
