This is another old children's book that's been sitting unread on the shelf in our home library for decades.
Dorrie Kimball is convinced her life will be misery now that her best friend has moved far, far away from the house next door and a pair of mischievous twin brothers have moved in.
Slowly, and in the mildest fashion, she discovers life isn't so bad if she only takes her head out of her butt.
