Stories Children Love # 4 - The Basket

Mother told Julie, Tessa, and Dicky which road to take home from Grandmother's house. But the three children thought they knew a better way, and they got lost in a strange forest guarded by a fierce dog. Grandmother had told Julie, Tessa, and Dicky not to open the big basket with the wonderful gift inside. But the three children just couldn't resist taking a peek, and suddenly they lost something very precious. Out of their fear and confusion came an undeserved happiness. Is it a miracle, or are we just seeing double?

A child still loves a story - about a cat that ran away, about a hungry dog waiting for some scraps of meat outside a butcher shop, about an abandoned doll lying in the rain. Each animal, each toy, has its own story. And your child wants to hear that story. W.G. Van de Hulst was a master storyteller. He knew children. And he wrote stories children love. That's why more than three million books in this series have been sold.
