About this book

The contents list The Candy Country and How They Ran Away. Lily says she will take her mamma's red sun umbrella because the weather is warm and the other children at school will not have one like it. Nurse warns that the wind is very high and fears that Lily may be blown away if she carries the big umbrella. The candy country has white sugar underfoot, chocolate rocks, flowers of different colors and tastes, and candy people living in little white houses.

Tommy tells Billy that becoming real hunters and having adventures requires getting lost and finding their way by the sun and stars. Tommy privately resolves to wait until he is older before trying to be a hunter, and never shoots another harmless little bird.
