Three young siblings slip away from home and spend a day wandering a bustling city, drawn to toy windows, street sights, and curiosities. Their outing unfolds as a sequence of short episodes in which they meet musicians, vendors, animals, uniformed officials, performers, and kindly strangers, and face small dangers and surprises. Each encounter highlights the children’s curiosity and impulsiveness while emphasizing acts of help and common-sense lessons, and the episodic narrative follows their adventures until they are safely reunited with their family.
The stories of the Three Little Trippertrots, though never before published, have been told to thousands of children, in a way, probably, that no tales have ever before been related. They were read over the telephone, nightly, to thousands of little folks, by means of the system operated by the N. J. Telephone Herald Company. The stories so delighted the children that the author has yielded to the request to issue them in book form.
