About this book
A snowstorm leaves Widow Barry struggling uphill with the basket and seat from her apple stall, while nearby boys enjoy their sleds. Eleven-year-old Tom stops to help, loading her belongings onto his sled and guiding her through the drifts. This encounter opens Mary Catherine Crowley's collection of stories for boys and girls, where kindness takes the form of practical help in an ordinary neighborhood.
Other scenes move into family life on a ranch in Indian Territory. Six-year-old Tilderee wants to be useful, but her enthusiasm complicates chores, unsettles animals and tests her older siblings' patience. Her terrier Fudge shares in her pranks, and affection survives the disruptions she causes. The collection brings together childhood play, household work and lessons in consideration. Readers interested in older children's fiction can find both the humor of small mishaps and a clear emphasis on caring for others.
