The Curlytops touring around; or, The missing photograph albums

The Martin children, Ted and Janet, are known around town as the “Curlytops” because of their tangled curls and boundless energy. At the start of their summer vacation they find themselves alone in the house while little “Trouble” is safely indoors, and the older siblings seize the chance for a daring escapade in the apple orchard. Their first scheme—a risky rope‑down‑the‑well stunt—sets a playful tone that quickly spirals into a series of wholesome misadventures.

Soon the pair discovers that several cherished family photograph albums have vanished, prompting a lively treasure hunt that takes them from farms and lumber camps to riverboats and sandy beaches. Along the way they meet helpful relatives, a mischievous pet, and a cast of friendly townsfolk who each add a splash of excitement to the search. The story balances gentle humor with the warm camaraderie of a close‑knit family on a breezy, sun‑filled holiday.

Listeners will enjoy the vivid, illustrated world of early‑20th‑century America as the Curlytops navigate clues, laugh at their own blunders, and learn that sometimes the real treasure is the adventure itself.
