Synopsis
Penny and his adopted brother Peter are already old friends of Carolyn Haywood's wide audience of children, equaling in popularity Little Eddie and all her other well loved characters. It is with extreme reluctance that the two little boys first greet the idea of a summer at camp. But as preparations advance, a gradual interest dawns. When Penny's camp uniform fails to arrive, its absence takes on the aspect of a major catastrophe. However, a great job of expediting on the part of parents and friends produces the uniform just in time for Penny to don it in the railway station dressing room and shed the Indian suit which has brought ridicule upon him. Once the boys are actually at camp and swept into its exciting doings, they become enthusiastic campers. Humor, tenderness, and understanding characterize the story as they do the others of this gifted author-artist. Children will love the book whether or not they have ever gone to camp. There are over twenty more books in the Bookshare collection about Penny, Peter and their friends at camp. Look for Carolyn Haywood to find books about Betsy, Eddie and other kids like you, even though they were children over 60 years ago in the middle of the twentieth century. Some of the book titles you'll find are: "B" is for Betsy, Betsy's Busy Summer, Betsy's Merry Christmas, Betsy and the Circus, Betsy and Mr. Kilpatrick, Betsy's Winterhouse, Eddie the Dog Holder, Eddie and his big Deals, Eddie's Pay Dirt, Eddie and Gardenia, Ever Ready Eddie, Eddie and the Fire Engine and many more! Many of these books have picture descriptions.
