About this ebook
A beloved 1950s Little Golden Book about animal homes, sure to delight toddlers and preschoolers.
In this sweet story about animal homes, a cat, a dog, a bird, a turtle, a bunny, a chick, and a squirrel all live together in a little house in the woods. They get along nicely when it comes to being quiet at nap time and keeping the house neat, but they just can’t agree on what to eat! After a meeting by the fire, the animals come up with a solution—and soon they’re all saying, “At last I’ve found the best home of all, the very best home for me.”
