About this book

Thanksgiving preparations fill the Bassett farmhouse with chopping, baking, and excited conversation when urgent family news sends the parents away. Left in charge, the older children must manage the house as snow begins to fall in the New Hampshire hills. This opening story in Louisa May Alcott's sixth Aunt Jo collection makes daily chores and a holiday meal the starting points for a test of responsibility.

The volume also includes stories with dolls, flowers, animals, and imagined companions. In the supplied passage from Shadow-Children, children's shadows become examples of kindness and good conduct. Poppy's Pranks turns to a curious little girl whose pride in her new shoes leads her beyond the garden gate. Domestic detail and fantasy sit alongside clear lessons about thoughtfulness. The collection suits readers interested in short children's tales that show how small wishes and ordinary decisions can set a story in motion.
