Old nursery rhymes with humorous illustrations in black and white and full-page drawings in color. Johnny Crow has an amazing garden, jam packed with other animals who all get up to plenty of fun. First published in 1903, this simple rhyming book for very young readers tells what happens when Johnny Crow's friends visit his garden.

Johnny always made sure his friends had a good time, whether he helped the apes make a coat for the bear or turned everyone loose after that sly fox put them all in the stocks. The elephant has snuggled up against the whale and looks very comfy, the lion is trying to hide his yawn, the hippo just looks like he wishes he was someplace else. But Johnny Crow, ever the polite host, is still wide awake and listening closely!
