Order of Janette Oke’s Animal Friends Books
Janette Oke's Animal Friends, alternatively known as Classic Children's Stories, is a beloved collection of Christian children's literature penned by renowned Canadian writer Janette Oke. This charming series centers around heartwarming animal tales, with Spunky the dog serving as the primary character alongside various other animal companions.
The series launched in 1982 when Oke published Spunky's Diary, marking the beginning of what would become a twelve-year journey. The collection concluded in 1994 with Who's New at the Zoo. Beyond the main series, Oke expanded Spunky's adventures with three additional titles: Spunky's First Christmas, Spunky's Camping Adventure, and Spunky's Circus Adventure. These later Spunky stories were eventually adapted into animated cartoons, bringing the loveable canine character to life on screen.
