The Peterkin Papers
Lucretia Peabody Hale
Why did the Peterkins have a late dinner? Because no simpler family ever made everything harder, and readers have laughed about it since. This Riverside edition gathers the famous episodes, from the summer plans to the dinner table itself, with illustrations to match the mischief. Gentle absurdity that still lands perfectly. Pull up a chair and wait for dinner. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
