"Barbara Campbell's first novel is set in St. Louis during World War II and introduces a spunky heroine whose warmth, vitality, and mischief will make her enormously popular with young readers." Barbara Ann Weathers, Bob, is anxious for her father to return from the war. She desperately needs his advice. She is eight years old and she has to make up her mind about being baptized this Easter. "Getting baptized just means you know right from wrong and you are ready to do the right things...try anyway. A lot of people baptized shouldn't be." Bob tries to do what's right, but sometimes it turns out wrong. She is determined to save the milkhorse, Yoki, from the glue factory and has a most unexpected accomplice. This is a great read-aloud!
"There is something worse than bad manners and that's a hard heart."
