Here is a sweet, wholesome story of two city kids who move to the country and have adventures on a farm. They get into trouble (sliding down a freshly-painted bannister, eating the only pear on the pear tree because it smelled so good even though Daddy asked them not to), and they have fun escapades (playing dress-up with clothes found in the attic leads to discovering a treasure map, going to the circus for the first time). I think it's a safe read-aloud for young children - even though some of the references are old-fashioned by today's standards, my daughter could still identify with the children's adventures and moral dilemmas in the story and quite enjoyed the story.

Read this aloud to my kindergarten class. They loved it and remembered each story of each chapter. No one writes sweet stories like Carolyn Haywood and this was no exception. There are lessons learned, consequences for foolishness, responsible parents, and adventures to make you laugh.

It was fine for reading aloud to the kids because I could edit out the culturally insensitive references to Native Americans, but I wouldn’t let the kids read it on their own. Besides that it was just a very simple old fashioned story about four kids playing together.
