One and One and One

What's hard for just one
Can always be done
If one helps the other —
Friend, sister, or brother.
A cat without a home meets a dog without a bone at the start of this endearing tale, recounted in catchy rhymes by Louis Untermeyer, one of America's most beloved twentieth-century poets. The illustrated story follows the animal friends into a deep, dark forest, where they encounter an owl, a bear, and other creatures that work together to build a happy home.
"Robert Jones' exuberant conception of this animal fable will tempt the beginner to read every caption," declared Kirkus Reviews upon this book's initial publication. Out of print for decades, One and One and One returns to delight readers and listeners with this charming new Dover edition.

Louis Untermeyer (1885–1977) wrote and edited more than 100 books for readers of all ages. A popular lecturer on literature, he assembled anthologies that introduced countless students to American and British poets.
Illustrator Robert Jones drew animation for Disney Studios while he was still in high school. His work appeared in a variety of American publications of the mid-20th century, most notably in the Saturday Evening Post.
