Mary Sontag

Alison and Thomas Visit the Family Mary Sontag

Children always seem to like visiting relatives and getting updated on all that is going on at the various homes. From their past visits, the children in this story had great expectations of all that was going to be happening. It is always a memorable occasion to see Grandpa and Grandma and the aunts, uncles, cousins and good friends. This story also relates to a trip the children make to the cousins' Ranch where they could again see the riding horses which both children are so pleased with and that they always look forward to seeing on each visit. To go with it all, they are amused over the adventures of the horses on the day following their visit to the Ranch - a day when the horses were out and about in the pasture doing their routine things as they met up with other animal friends. The kindnesses noted of the animals to other animals, and the experience of all the animals, provides not only entertainment but also presents good moral suggestions.
