Welcome to Litsy!

The book was told from Beautiful Joe‘s point of view. I enjoyed this, but it did get preachy at times. I agree with it all, but even so, it still felt a bit preachy. Many of the characters in the story were almost too good to be true, but at the same time, I think the book (originally published in 1893) was trying to teach kids not to be cruel to animals, they have feelings and feel pain, too. Interesting that it is actually a woman who wrote this

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView !!

1. Storing book someplace where they are going to get musty!
2. I do enjoy them sometimes, but I think it's because I LOVED them when I was growing up, so many titles (like the tagged book) are intermingled with nostalgia!
