Book Description

Excerpt from Tommy Smith's Animals There was once a little boy, named A Tommy Smith, who was very cruel to animals, because nobody had taught him that it was wrong to be so. He would throw stones at the birds as they sat in the trees or hedges; and if he did not hit them, that was only because they were too quick for him, and flew away as soon as they saw the stone coming. But he always meant to hit them - yes, and to kill them too, - which made it every bit as bad as if he really had killed them.
