| Summary | "Live Toys; Or, Anecdotes of Our Four-Legged and Other Pets" by Emma Davenport is a collection of charming animal anecdotes written in the mid-19th century. The book recounts the delightful experiences and stories of various pets owned by a little boy and girl, capturing the innocence and joy of childhood through their interactions with these animals. Each chapter seems dedicated to a different pet, bringing an affectionate and whimsical perspective to the lives of these four-legged companions. The opening of the book introduces us to Moppy, the white rabbit, who becomes the first pet of the two children. The narrative captures their excitement upon discovering Moppy on the beach, leading to their nurse purchasing the rabbit. We learn about the children's tender care for Moppy, detailing how they play with him and their worries about leaving him when they move. The story sets the tone for a series of endearing vignettes that illuminate the bond between children and their pets, illustrating the joys, trials, and mischievous antics that come with pet ownership in a nostalgic manner.
