Double Trouble
Some days are fine. You wake up feeling good, and nice things happen to you all day long. Other days are bad. They start off wrong and continue to get worse.
That's how it was with Steve. He woke up with the sniffles and had to stay home from school. He was lonesome. His plane wouldn't fly and his magic tricks were no fun to practice by himself. It was a restless rainy day- until Steve thought it the Hidden Treasure game. Then things began to happen fast!
Steve had the nicest family. His mother would stop something she was doing to help him. His father was patient, kind, and friendly. But even their patience was tried when, though no fault of his own, Steve got into one trouble after another, each one bigger than the last.
This story of Steve's three bad days is a simple one about the everyday life of an everyday family. As with families everywhere, there is understanding and confusion, kindness as well as anger, humor, and bad temper. This book is handsomely laid out with separate chapters, an easy-to-read text, and many wonderful pictures of boys and their big-city doings.
