This volume contains five read-aloud stories about a small, spirited girl called Carrie and some of the big events in her life. The day Dad comes home from China, for instance, with a case to unpack and presents to discover; and Dressing-up Day at school, when all the children have to go as a character from a book. Carrie is a girl full of ideas and enterprise. She opens a sports club in her back garden and makes granny an ingenious gift when she goes into hospital for an eye operation. But the pinnacle of Carrie's life so far is the day that she climbs a mountain. June Crebbin's other books include "Fly-by-Night", "Ride to the Rescue" and two books of verse, "The Jungle Sale" and "The Dinosaur's Dinner". Thelma Lambert has also illustrated "Jackson's Juniors".
