Popovers had a visitor. He lived in a hand-painted yellow box and the lid of the box was held securely with a neat little buckle. Looking at the box, you would never dream of a visitor inside. You’ll probably think it’s a doll’s chest or a box that holds marbles or beads. But as soon as I unlocked – the back cover flew off and a pain! Even the visitor jumped in a way that would give anyone a head start. The Popovers were stunned, every single one. She even startles Elaine, though she has seen Jack jump out of […]

Elaine had a new playmate and the Popovers didn’t like him at all. He was a white kitten, soft and furry and full of fun. His name was Blinky, and he did little all day but play.

Ellen would have loved to do nothing better than to hold Blinky in her lap and stroke his soft fur and let […]

Mr. Popover lay on the floor under Aunt Amelia’s dining-room table. Elaine dropped it there five minutes ago. She carried the entire Popover family into the dining room to play ice skating on the slippery, polished table. But maybe because it was such a warm day the Popovers didn’t feel like skating. They couldn’t or wouldn’t stand on their feet, and as for taking their hand and gliding gracefully across the ice, Elaine simply couldn’t get them to understand how it was done. “Maybe we’d better play it as pool,” Elaine finally said. She threw off Mr. Popover’s warm pink […]
