About this book

A red wheelbarrow and an eager dog turn the grounds of the Gray family's cottage into Frankie's playground. He watches his brother Willie skate across the road, takes a first ride on a visitor's horse, and gathers sticks with Ponto beside him. Carrying wood to the kitchen lets him feel useful, while his games with sand reveal the limits of his patient companion's good nature.

Madeline Leslie combines these small domestic adventures with direct Christian lessons about conduct. Frankie's parents use prayer, conversation, and ordinary temptations, including sugar in the cupboard, to teach honesty and obedience. The child's imperfect speech and the narrator's familiar tone keep the story close to early childhood.
