Kernel Cob and Little Miss Sweetclover

About this film

LibriVox recording of Kernel Cob and Little Miss Sweetclover by George Mitchell. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Jackie and his sister Peggs yearn for companions and make two dolls from what grows around them -- sweetclover and corn cob. But, a gust of wind whisks them away launching them on far ranging of adventures. There is the sea horse, crickets, a giant condor, polar bears and more. Across they go to Japan, India, Africa and the ends of the earth. Of course, there is a surprise at the end. The author treats us to a whimsical and imaginative story filled with adventure with values of friendship and courage, as in this rhyme: If you attempt a noble deed You're almost certain to succeed, So do not give up hope, but try, However rough your path may lie, To forge ahead with all your might And everything will come out right. - Summary by Larry Wilson For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
