This book is adorable. It’s the story of a dog who is adopted by the Ticket Master of a circus. Due to the dog’s being able to stand its front legs and balance, the Ticket Master puts him in the circus. Nearly every day the Ticket Master gives Little-or-Nothing a bone, which he promptly hides under the Ticket Master’s wagon. But the next morning, the bone is gone!
This phenomenon has a very simple explanation, but it takes Little-or-Nothing awhile to catch on. It’s very cute, and I enjoyed it as a quick “Sit-right-down-by-the-bookshelf-and-read-it-now” book. It’s out of print, but I hope you will be able to find it without much trouble!

William is taking a bath, and his mother tells him not to run the faucet more than a minute longer. But when his brother Walter tries to make the water come out faster and the handle breaks off, William is in for a wild ride down the whole apartment building!
This one is absolutely hilarious. As William and the bathtub go from floor to floor, the downstairs neighbors are swept into the current and join the fun. The neighbors’ names and their “boats” all rhyme. For instance, “Patty Fuzzle steered her puzzle.” I still read this one!

Cinnabar is a fox who dearly enjoys to participate in fox hunts. So much so, that he is known as the One O’Clock Fox who always shows up at One O’Clock and will run until night-fall. The historic chase that takes place in this book is between Cinnabar (affectionately called “Cinny”) and a party of men including George Washington.
This book is great! It’s so amusing to read about Cinny and his wife, Vicky, and their four children, Rascal, Pascal, Merry, and Mischief. The copy I read had great illustrations in it, but I don’t know what you’ll be able to find, as this book is out of print. It’s perfect for a chuckle or two.

A poor old man and his wife want something other than turnips to eat, so they trade socks made from the man’s sweater to their neighbors for milk and cheese.
There’s not much to say about this one, except that it’s a short, fun book with a delightful ending.
