Tommy Smith’s Animals

Tommy Smith’s Animals is the first book in a charming series that sets out to teach children about the wonders of the animal kingdom. The narrative follows the exploits of little Tommy Smith, a well-known menace amongst the animals of his neighbourhood. Fed up with the cruelty and carelessness of the young child, the rats and hares, owls and snakes, moles and frogs, among others, work together to show Tommy Smith just how damaging and nasty his behaviour is. They do this through a series of talks where they show Tommy Smith the incredible worth and unique characteristics of the birds and beasts who inhabit the countryside.

To accompany the reading of this book we highly recommend its picture-book companion, Natural History Pictures for a Living Education: Tommy Smith’s Animals, which can be purchased individually or as part of a special bundle here.
