When God made the world He planted the flowers and the
grass and the trees to make things beautiful to look upon;
He swung the sun and the moon and the stars in the sky to
make things bright; He put the birds in the trees to fill
the air with music, and when He made the animals we believe
that he intended them to be the friends of man.
Isn't the dog the best playmate that a boy can have?
Did any one ever hear of Towser or Gyp being false friends?
And the soft, dainty, cunning bit of a fluffy ball of a
kitten who comes rubbing its downy sides against the tiny
girl's skirts begging for a return caress, is there a
play-fellow more lovable? And the squirrel who comes begging
at the window for nuts; the bunny rabbit who snuggles its
delicate nose, trustingly, under the little boy's chin; the
horse who has been man's friend in times of trouble and of
peace, bearing his burdens or scampering with him over the
fields and roads in play; the cow who has sent her good milk
to the babies of all time; the sheep and the goats who have
given of their wool to keep us warm,—we love them all dearly.
In this volume we have tried to make friends and playmates
of all of the animals. And we're sure you'll love them too!
