VINTAGE 🪿PETUNIA 🪿Kids Hardback Book

Classic Petunia Book with Illustration written in 1950- The plot: Now for the lovable silly goose, Petunia. The book opens with Petunia wandering the meadow and stumbling upon a book, something she was not accustomed to seeing. Upon deducing that it is a book, she remembers hearing her farmer tell a boy that books are very precious and those who own and love them are wise. Mistakenly, Petunia decides that all she must do is carry the book under her wing and love it and she would abound in wisdom. The animals of the farmyard soon notice the change in Petunia and judge her to be wise as well. Next comes a series of events with the animals asking Petunia’s advice and Petunia giving them often absurd and very unhelpful “wisdom.”This results in injury and distress for each animal, until a final piece of dreadful advice causes a major accident. All the animals are more injured and angry with Petunia, who herself has injured her once proud neck. The accident however causes the book to blow open and Petunia discovers the true secret of becoming wise.
