1915
STORIES FOR CHILDREN FROM 5 TO 10 YEARS OLD - * * * * * - THE KNEETIME ANIMAL STORIES By Richard Barnum
Squinty is a little pig with a quirky eye and a bouncy, curly tail that instantly makes children giggle. Living in a bustling farmyard with his noisy siblings, he watches the world with a half‑closed squint that turns every ordinary moment into comedy. His gentle nature and playful curiosity invite boys and girls to join his mischief from the very first page.
In each short adventure Squinty teams up with a friendly dog, wanders off on a daring escape, and even finds himself soaring in a bright balloon above the countryside. Along the way he meets a merry monkey, a clever squirrel, and learns a surprising new trick, always returning home with a laugh and a story to tell. The charming illustrations bring the humor to life, making this collection a perfect, light‑hearted listen for young listeners who love animals and simple, whimsical fun.
