Description
George Routledge and Sons printed this small pet book for young children, with pictures by Kronheim and Company of London. Polly's cat Topsy looks prim and quiet. She leaps on the breakfast table to steal toast, blots her mother's letters with a paw, and sits grave on Uncle Tom's shoulder as if reading his book.
Carlo, Harry's dog, plunges into the foaming sea again and again to fetch a stone, fearless and glad. Each pet gets a short, easy tale in large, spaced type, so a child learning to read can follow word by word. The book charms through its mild mischief and fond view of household beasts, a gentle primer in both reading and kindness to animals.
