Description

Mollie spends her afternoons dreaming on a haystack, accompanied by Flaxilocks, a French doll, and Whistlebinkie, a rubber boy with a whistle in his hat. Their quiet pondering often invites odd, delightful happenings that seem to exist only for her. One gentle afternoon a soft sob catches their ears, pulling the trio toward an unexpected encounter.

The sound belongs to a tiny shepherdess named Bopeep, who has lost her flock of spring lambs. Mollie’s kind heart and the peculiar talents of her companions—especially Whistlebinkie’s charming whistle—prompt them to set off in search of the missing sheep. Their quest is filled with whimsical dialogue, light‑hearted riddles, and a warm sense of adventure that invites listeners to share in the wonder of the hunt.
