Our Pets

Meet Polly and Harry’s beloved animal companions in this gentle introduction to life with pets. Topsy the cat is quiet-looking but mischievous, stealing toast and leaving paw prints on letters, while Carlo the brave dog fetches, swims, and watches over Harry. Polly’s pigeons flutter down to eat from her hand, though they keep their distance from the cat and dog.

Young listeners will also discover Bunny the rabbit, cared for with fresh straw and garden greens, and Nan the lamb, lovingly raised by Polly after being rescued as a baby. In the poultry yard, Polly tends her own rooster, hen, and lively brood of chicks. With warm, simple language and affectionate portraits of familiar animals, this charming book celebrates kindness, responsibility, and the special friendships children share with their pets.
