Suares, which enliven these whimsical forays into the world of baby animals. Funny Cats and Funny Dogs were first published by Welcome Enterprises in 1995.

 | Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Angel Dominguez, Barry Moser, Carolyn Ewing, Cooper Edens, DeLoss McGraw
As he escorted the three young daughters of a colleague on a trip up the river Isis, Lewis Carroll invented Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the story of a little girl who tumbles down a rabbit hole. Full of such wonderfully eccentric characters as the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter.
