"I know a placeWhere the doodle-bugs race
And the tree toads laugh with glee;
Where the pollywog grins
As he rubs his shins
And flirts with the bumble bee!
There the animals chat
With polite eclat
As they hang by their tails or toes;
They dance all night
By the glow-worm's light
Dressed up in beautiful clothes!
There the high-toned bats
Wear stove pipe heats
As they haughtily sip their tea;
And all the snails
With busy tails
Look stylish as they can be!"

What a sweet little book! I wish I could find treasures like this.
How adorable... I had never heard of this book before this, but I love it! One of my favorite books was "T. Tyler Toad and the Thunder."
Vintage childrens books are the best. Pick one up & instantly you are 6. I like that! I hope your Thanksgiving was a great one Marsi? You can't post less on your blog than ole' me. I'm down to once a week, so lame. What is nice is that your friends will always be here for you! All the best for a happy start to your December. xx

If I was certain that I didn't need yet another collection, books like this would be the first thing I'd add to my house!
