Abstract
This is a 70-page booklet that is 5¼" x 7¼". It features pairs of animals making different decisions. Frequently enough, the decision deprives a character of a chance for something. The pig that did not keep his face clean is disappointed that he does not win blue ribbons the way the pig with the clean face does. The curly-tailed dog wants a straight tail. He lets boys tie a can to his tail and soon regrets his decision. The gray kitten wants to be white and follows the monkey's bad advice to jump into a barrel of water. The runaway lamb ends up needing to draw a boy around in a cart. Each story has one black-and-white drawing.
