From icy slides to arrowhead hunts, and the daunting journey to school, Bonnie's curiosity knows no bounds. As the youngest, she often finds herself at the heart of the action, whether it's winter or summer. Will her youthful enthusiasm lead to triumph or trouble? Discover the lively escapades that unfold in the Fairchild household, where every day promises a new adventure.

From the publisher

It is a good thing that mothers understand what no one else seems to when you are the youngest child in the family, and are finally four years old. Bonnie is more than ready to join her older sisters and brother in the many adventures she sees come their way, whether it be sliding along the ice, searching for arrowheads, or going on that journey of all journeys - across the swinging bridge to SCHOOL. Winter or summer, something is always happening in the Fairchild house, tucked amidst the pine trees of the Kentucky hills one hundred years ago or more. And, four years old or not, Bonnie usually manages to be in the middle of the action!
