Little Prudy

Meet Prudy Parlin, a lively three‑year‑old with a boundless imagination who lives in Portland with her older sister Susy and busy mother. When the family hands her a few calico squares for a stint of patchwork, the tiny girl dives in, needle in hand, only to tumble into a series of comical mishaps. From pricking her finger to hiding in an empty hogshead, her earnest attempts at “helping” turn everyday chores into spirited escapades.

Prudy’s chatter fills the kitchen, her rhyme‑filled soliloquies turning a simple dough‑nut bake into a stage for her playful songs. Through her eyes, even the mundane—like a cracked pitcher or a wandering dog—becomes a grand adventure, inviting listeners to share in her wonder and gentle mischief. The story captures the warmth of a close‑knit family, the patience of a mother, and the pure joy of childhood curiosity.
