Four silly tales of animals who love to make mischief—no matter what! Whaley Whale is hiding. Is she on the table? Is she in a basket? We don’t know! Moosey Moose is angry. Why is Moosey Moose angry? Because he wants to put on his long pants! Wormy Worm is wiggling. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. Wormy Worm wiggles so much, he doesn’t know which end is which. And Sluggy Slug? Well, Sluggy Slug just won’t go. Nope. No matter what we do, he just won’t go.

Four animals have no choice but to be themselves—even if it means being silly! What is Doggy Dog? Is he a cat? Is he a potato? Is he a lampshade? No! He is a dog! Goosey Goose is a goose, and that means she is trouble. Mess with her and you will see just how tough a goose can be. Lamby Lamb is very sweet—until you try to make her put on her clothes. How do you make Lamby Lamb get dressed? Trick her! We love Snaily Snail no matter what. We love her when she’s here; we love her when she’s there. We love her every day—and you will too!
