  (Trademark Registered.) By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEYAUTHOR OF THE SLEEPY-TIME TALES and TUCK-ME-IN TALES ———————————————————— Colored Wrapper and Text Illustrations Drawn by HARRY L. SMITH ———————————————————— These are fascinating stories of farmyard folk for boys and girls from about four to eight years of age. THE TALE OF MISS KITTY CAT When Mrs. Rat saw Miss Kitty Cat washing her face, she knew it meant rain. And she wouldn't let her husband leave home without his umbrella. THE TALE OF HENRIETTA HEN Henrietta Hen was an empty-headed creature with strange notions. She never laid an egg without making a great fuss about it. THE TALE OF THE MULEY COW The Muley Cow belonged to Johnnie Green. He often milked her; and she seldom put her foot in the milk pail. THE TALE OF TURKEY PROUDFOOT A vain fellow was Turkey Proudfoot. He loved to strut about the farmyard and spread his tail, which he claimed was the most elegant one in the neighborhood. THE TALE OF PONY TWINKLEHEELS Pony Twinkleheels trotted so fast you could scarcely tell one foot from another. Everybody had to step lively to get out of his way. THE TALE OF OLD DOG SPOT Old dog Spot had a keen nose. He was always ready to chase the wild folk. And he always looked foolish when they got away from him. THE TALE OF GRUNTY PIG Grunty pig was a great trial to his mother. He found it hard not to put his feet right in the feeding trough at meal time. ———————————————————— Grosset & Dunlap, Publishers, New York ————————————————————
