Abstract:
In the Napping House, a wakeful flea atop a number of sleeping creatures causes a commotion, with just one bite.

In the Owl and the Pussycat, listen to the lilting rhythms of the two characters who "went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat."

In Stone Soup, three clever soldiers, during the time of Napoleon, devise a plan to get food and lodging from the selfish inhabitants of the village.

In Blueberries for Sal, a little girl and a little bear on a blueberry-picking trip mix up their mothers on a hillside in Maine.

Sailing off in a wooden shoe, Wynken, Blynken and Nod find sleepy-time adventure under a luminous night sky.

Noisy Nora: With everyone in her house too busy to listen, Nora makes her presence known at every turn.

Angus & the ducks: A curious Scottish terrier gets a chance to find out what's on the other side of the hedge.

Rosie's walk: Against the strains of a catchy barnyard tune, a single-minded fox stalks an unsuspecting hen.
