Dotty Dimple at Her Grandmother's

"Dotty Dimple at Her Grandmother's" by Sophie May, is a story about a young girl named Dotty, or Alice, as she lives life with her siblings while staying with her grandmother. It shares a child's pure view of the world while showing Dotty's experiences, playtime with others, and the lessons she learns. The book begins with the Parlin kids coming to their grandmother's house on a pretty Sunday morning. Dotty Dimple notices how beautiful everything is, but she also feels jealous when she compares herself to Jennie. We see how innocent Dotty is and her simple understanding of things like being rich, being good, and the meaning of giving as she thinks about what she learned in Sunday school. The talks and playtime between the kids hint at what's to come for Dotty as she grows up and learns about being kind, honest, and using her imagination.
