This isn't the tale of a dog- or a cat. It is, instead, the whimsical tale full of nonsense and giggles you will want to read twice.

Like so many stories written just for the kids, this one also appeals to the mothers, fathers, and older siblings. It is preferred by adults to

stories from school that always have lessons buried inside. Preference is given to grownups who think silly is just a word to describe the behavior of

parents trying to act like their children. You see, they are new to the parenting stuff. But they listen politely, which can really be tough. Even

when laughter is absent from stories, parents proceed with made-up grumbly voices.

It is only when grownups turn into grandparents that they learn all the tricks to amuse and amaze children right from the start.

Now here is a tale that's worth one single thin dime. The bright part is knowing you can read it again and again- right to the end.
