"Every one knows this ought to be 'Cats and Dogs,' except perhaps, Mrs. Follen who, being an old lady, will be excused for having forgotten. They are first rate stories, capitally told, too." -The Criterion: Literary and Critical Journal, Volume 1, 1855 "They are staid, sober, quiet little stories, full of interest and instruction for thoughtful children." -Babyhood: The Mother's Nursery Guide, Volume 5, 1888 Delightful and inspiring true stories for young readers. You never know how intelligent an animal is till you treat it with kindness. All animals are easily frightened by human beings, and fear makes them stupid. Children naturally love animals, but sometimes a foolish boy loves to show his power over them, and so learns to be cruel....I have seen a little fellow of three years of age with his hand in the mouth of a large, hungry dog, trying to get a piece of bread out of it, and the dog not resenting the liberty at all, but merely trying to retain his share of the bread, and allowing the child to take a part.
