the wolf, who tells him to ask the bear, who tells him to ask the

These are the stories of four animals and their friends. There are
two cats - Cher Khan and Tabby. Cher Khan is a young ginger cat and
is rather vain. He loves attention and is forever looking at
himself in any mirror he can find. Tabby loves to eat, and anything
will do. A cat who likes his independence, he is quite a Jack the
Lad, but has a very kind heart. KoKo is a West Highland Terrier who
is very good at sorting out problems. Blackbird is, well, a
blackbird, excellent at singing. They all live in the village of
Little Chirp and get along together well. Mostly! Nearby is the
town of Chirp, which has a circus, shops, village green, a
playground and a library. In Little Chirp live Jamie and Leah, who
reside at Little Chirp Farm. Jamie is a farmer, and the couple make
a good living from the wonderful food Leah produces from the farm.
Jamie is also a great handyman. Dr Blister runs the village
veterinary surgery. He is a good-hearted chap who will help any
animal in trouble. Later on, we will meet the tigers, whose growl
is far worse than their bite. The animals all speak Animal
Language, which is not a difficult language to learn. Most humans
are too lazy to learn it, and although young children can speak it,
many grow out of it. However, animals understand EVERYTHING that we
say.
