In the third story, a group of talking animals help a young girl named Ellen find her lost kitten.The other stories in the book feature a mischievous fairy who causes trouble for a group of children, a group of goblins who help a poor family during the winter, and a talking bird who helps a young girl named Nelly learn to read.Throughout the book, Stowe weaves in themes of morality, kindness, and the importance of education.
