On a little island in a lake, three children live with their mother in a cottage shaped like a hat. When she leaves for the mainland to find yarn, the children try to manage the housework — with hilariously messy results. A charming Elsa Beskow story about getting help from unexpected places, with lively illustrations in her classic style.
