Funny Little Socks Being the Fourth Book

In this tender vignette, an eight‑year‑old girl named Kitty is thrust into the role of “Little Mother” while her parents travel to New York. Charged with looking after her baby brother Walter, sister Luly, and the household staff, she proudly takes the reins, determined to prove she can run the home as well as her mother. The story captures the bustling countryside estate along the Hudson River, where horses, cows, a mischievous dog, and a shy kitten add lively backdrop to Kitty’s earnest endeavors.

Kitty’s day unfolds with simple chores, meals, and the delighted chaos of children playing with a peculiar, eye‑less doll and other odd toys. When the bell rings, she must step into the role of hostess, greeting unexpected visitors with the poise of a seasoned lady of the house. Through sweet dialogue and gentle humor, the narrative celebrates the innocence of childhood responsibility and the warm affection that binds a family together.
