3Children love rhythm, rhyme and talking animals, but certainly not 'big puppies who growl, bark or bite'! 'Those darn dogs, ' says the cat! Come along on a journey with The CICADA and the HEDGEHOG, in the author's backyard, as they 'stand their ground, stare down the hounds', showing that it's 'just of no use to show unkindness or abuse' and so much easier 'to be kind'! NO BULLIES ALLOWED (in my backyard...or anywhere)!
