| 520 | _aBessie and the squirrels by Madeline Leslie is a didactic children’s story written in the late 19th century during the Victorian era. Centered on a farm family at “Corwin’s Nest,” it uses everyday adventures with animals and neighbors to teach charity, obedience, gratitude, and Christian home life. The story follows Bessie and her little brother Jamie as they watch the lively squirrels on their property, visit the barn, and then join their mother in aiding the destitute Bell family—bringing food, clothing, a stove, and eventually arranging a safe cottage and work for the father. Mamma tells a parable about a naughty young squirrel, Bob, who learns that harmony comes from each one giving up a little. The household is tested by guests—the McIntires—and their spoiled son Lewis, whose recklessness endangers others, destroys property, and mocks prayer, prompting an early departure and a sober contrast in child-rearing. Seeking cheer, the Corwins enjoy a day’s ride (with their little dog Flossy secretly stowed under the seat), and later confront “thieving” squirrels raiding apple barrels; a gentle talk explains that animals lack moral knowledge, while people must act with wisdom and kindness. The book closes with Bessie resolving to pray and trust God to set things right. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
