Pussy and Doggy Tales by E. Nesbit
"Pussy and Doggy Tales" by E. Nesbit is a delightful collection of stories aimed at children, written in the late 19th century.

The book is illustrated by L. Kemp-Welch, adding a visual appeal that complements the whimsical narratives. The stories within the collection
include various escapades involving clever cats like Mrs. Tabby White, who tries to adopt human behaviors with humorous consequences, and adventurous dogs like Tinker, who faces challenges that test their loyalty and courage.
