In "Clara Cow Be Quiet Now", a boisterous bovine disturbs her friends with her loud singing and dancing. In "Peggy Hen Counts to Ten", a chicken learns to count her young, both before and after they have hatched. In "Comfy Cat and Freda-May's Hat", a pampered pet seems to do nothing all day except sit and lie around, but one day her feline skills come in useful...These and other tales are all charmingly illustrated by Ali Lodge, and will provide fun for children and parents alike.
