Black-Eyed Susan

(4 Sterne; 3 Bewertungen)

Susan has black eyes and that's why her grandfather calls her his little black-eyed Susan. Her pink cheeks and merry smile remind her grandmother to bake cinnamon cookies for the little girl who has no real memory of her mother and father. When she asks how it was that she came to live with them her grandparents tell her. She likes those talks and knows her story well. She loves her grandparents and her dog and the chickens she tends and the cozy home they all share on Featherbed Lane outside the village of Green Valley. Sometimes Susan wishes for nearby friends of her own age to play with. It's funny how wishes sometimes come true in unexpected ways. Let's find out how Susan's are fulfilled and why it is that grandfather declares her the best little girl in Putnam County!

Ethel Calvert Phillips wrote dozens of children's books mainly about girlhood. - Summary by Brian Fullen (3 hr 15 min)

Nothing Happens

I perhaps should have read the description better or the reviews. Although a sweet story, it doesn't do much for me as there is only one chapter when any action occurs.
