Author Description

Tommy Smith was cruel to animals. Finally, the wise old owl called a meeting of the animals, and it was decided that the best way to help Tommy was to teach him about animals. Tommy meets with frogs, hares, snakes, owls and others, and by the end of the book, has become friends with them and decides to protect animals at all times. A fine book for children of all ages -- and adults, too! Tommy Smith's Animals was first published in 1899. It was so popular that it has been reprinted at least twelve times.
