By I. Caroline Crocker

Have you ever chewed gum you found on the playground? Played in a ditch where wolves roam? Skated in the backyard? Sold driveway stones? Had a bird poop on your head? Fed chipmunks from your hand? Been mean? Told a whopper? Learned the hard way? Ireentje has. She is the eldest child of Dutch immigrants to Canada in the days before computers, cell phones, or child car seats, and her adventures are designed to be read as a novel by older children. The chapters are also suitable for use as gentle stand-alone stories for bedtime reading to those who are younger. Some stories have a moral; some do not. Some are humorous, and some are not so much. But, children always say, "Read me another chapter "(Previously published as Ireentje: The Early Years)
