This book was pretty good. It revolves around 4 children. Henry and Bennie, the two boys Henry being the oldest and Benny being the youngest, and Jessie and Violet, Jessie being the 2nd oldest and Violet being the 3rd oldest. The book was good, but there were some parts in it I didn't like like them finding the mother hen's 5 eggs and cooking them for a meal, but it was still satisfactory.
