Nancy, Joyce, Nelson, Robert, and Baby Carmen share many learning experiences. On the very day that Nelson can hardly wait to go for the calves they are buying, neighbor Hugo detains Father. And what should they do when Joyce and Nelson cannot agree on what to name their calves? Nelson wants to call his calf Lassie, but Joyce protests that Lassie is a dog’s name. Father hears and settles the argument, and Nelson decides on an unusual name.
Robert likes to find things that are matching. Baby Carmen must learn not to eat calf feed or seeds or garden dirt. Nancy and Joyce help Mother cook the meals and do the housework. They find out how important such skills are when they see their neighbor lady go to work every day.
