About this book
Warm mittens, a familiar kitten rhyme and two eager listeners bring Aunt Fanny's storytelling into a family sitting room. In this collection for small children, Sarah entertains Mary and Charlotte with the tale of kittens who lose, soil and wash their mittens. The girls interrupt with sympathy and observations of their own, so the telling becomes as much a scene of family affection as a nursery story.
Elsewhere, Sallie and Fanny receive permission to visit a nearby ice cream saloon on their own. Their excitement, hurried preparations and attempts at grown-up dignity give a lively picture of childhood in New York. Playful conversation and children's mixed-up words carry the humor. For readers today, these short stories offer a glimpse of older family storytelling, with everyday treats and small lessons viewed through a child's eager imagination.
