About This Book
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.
