1924
A children's novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the adventures of the Curlytops, specifically siblings Ted and Janet Martin, along with their little brother William, who is affectionately nicknamed Trouble. The story begins with the children excitedly anticipating a trip to the circus and later their summer vacation at Sunset Beach, where their escapades continue. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the lively dynamics of the Martin family, particularly focusing on Ted, Janet, and Trouble's interactions as they prepare for a circus parade. Amidst playful banter and minor squabbles typical of sibling relationships, they hurry to see their father return home so they can make their way to the parade. As they enjoy the festivities, Trouble's precocious nature quickly leads him into a near mishap with an elephant, which serves to both introduce a sense of adventure and foreshadow further escapades at the circus and beyond. The opening portion sets a joyful tone that promises a blend of family-friendly fun and light-hearted challenges as the Curlytops embark on their summer adventures.
