Description

A cozy collection of animal fables opens with a mother cat gathering her curious kittens for a bedtime story. She spins the mischievous adventures of Mrs. Tabby White, a clever barn cat who learns that copying human habits—like trying to pour milk from a jug—can lead to comical mishaps and surprising consequences. The tale sets a playful tone, showing how feline wit and pride intersect with the everyday world of farm life.

The rest of the book follows the same gentle rhythm, offering a variety of short episodes featuring both cats and dogs. Readers meet a proud Persian, a meddlesome kitten, a loyal hound, and many other four‑legged characters who navigate household mysteries, rivalries and small acts of kindness. Each story is illustrated with charming drawings that bring the whimsical personalities to life, making the collection a delightful listen for anyone who enjoys lighthearted moral tales told from an animal’s point of view.
