A wonderful book to read to young children, a lot like the Bobbsey twins, with adventures of all sorts: playing in boats, trees, taking trolley rides, getting lost, finding a dog...how they get along as brother and sister, how they fit into the village they live in and their interactions with all the towns people. And, how they have to help their aunt solve a problem. A fun adventure reading book for young people!
