A little about the story
The household is so full of children that big brother Hal, singing nursery rhymes to little Dot, can't help thinking of the old woman who lived in a shoe. There is never enough money, and everyone has to pull together, from Joe with his grand discoveries to Charlie, a girl who hates having to stay at home while the boys have all the fun.
Amanda M. Douglas writes warmly about a big, loving family getting through hard times, and about the truth that there's no place like home.
