We finished reading Penny and Peter by Carolyn Haywood yesterday. I'm not sure which chapter was my favorite, but K.'s was when the crabs were crawling all over in the train. Penny and Peter got into some interesting scrapes and this book had us laughing a lot. It does celebrate Christmas, but there is no mention of Santa Claus.
There were some incidents that were so familiar that I'm sure I read this book when I was in elementary school. Did you know that Carolyn Haywood wrote one book almost every year from 1939 (B is for Betsy) to 1987 (Hello, Star)!
