YOU KNOW WHAT? I LIKE ANIMALS

You know what? Joey keeps a whole (imaginary) menagerie in an apartment house marked ""No animals allowed."" (Comic drawing of Joey in elevator with two unconcerned adults plus giraffe, elephant, moose, dog, raccoon, fish, kangaroo, monkey.) But when the family plays and sings together, the animals go to visit another boy. You know what? says Joey I like people too. Sunday funnies illustrations and perky kidspeak give the little anecdote a lift, but the ending is still flat.
