About this book
Summer in the mountain community of Franconia brings small disputes and practical lessons for Phonny, his cousin Malleville, and the other young people around Mrs. Henry's home. The opening finds Malleville telling her kitten a story while Phonny interrupts, then tries to impress her by lifting the largest sticks from Beechnut's wood cart. Beechnut turns the task into a quiet lesson about pride and sensible work.
Jacob Abbott builds this children's novel around familiar occupations, conversation, and questions of fairness. In another episode, Phonny and Stuyvesant ask Wallace to settle how long an offer to care for the hens should remain open. The details of tools, a henhouse, and household work give the moral arguments a concrete setting.
