These are classic animal stories that are absolutely timeless. The first story is Martha B. Rabbit and the Unexpected Guests about Martha and her friend Tabitha the cat preparing for a long, cold winter. At first Tabitha doesn't know why they are working so hard, but when the winter sets in and the other woodland creatures show up at their door looking for help, she realizes how important it is to be prepared.

The second story is Martha B. Rabbit and Daphne the Forgetful Duck. Poor Daphne has a dreadful memory and forgets where she left her ducklings when she went to the market. Martha and friends help her her find them and save them from the dastardly foxes. In the end Martha and Tabitha offer to watch the ducklings whenever Daphne has to do her shopping and they get her help for her terrible memory.

The third story is Martha B. Rabbit and Those Wicked Rats Again about 3 rats who repeatedly try to ambush Martha on her way home from work so that they can steal her food. Each time they are thwarted by Martha's friends, Tabitha and Cuckoo.
