with a sweet puppy who is cooking, a sweet kitten who is sweeping, and a sweet bunny who is drying dishes, this cover catches your eye and is an "awwww."
this book was originally titled, "animal friends."
besides the three animals on the cover, the book also features other friends: a chick, a squirrel, a turtle, and a bird.
they each have their own bed and chest. they take turns cooking. but each animal prepares what THEY like to eat. the other animals don't care for each other's favorite foods. so the friends decide to all find their own places, except squirrel, who stays in the home.

set this book on an easel and create cute decor for a nursery, child's room, playroom, homeschooling area, classroom, or family room.
the book's pages are all nearly perfect. the spine is still tight and intact. the pages have no writing or tears or bends. it is not a former library book. it is from a non-smoking home.
the owner's name is inkpenned in shaky cursive handwriting: "mary ellen with love," maybe from a grandparent.
i found this book in a tiny town's antique store outside kansas city.
this little golden book shows the store's price tag of 99-cents from "thrift/treasure drug" store on the top right cover, with a bar code added at the lower right.
the front and back covers are in very, very good condition, with just the teeniest bit of aging.
