"As the child learns to walk and to talk his world expands, but he is still very dependent upon his mother and upon her approval. He plays with her or by himself. At the same time he begins to explore his environment. He needs specially chosen toys and he can enjoy a joke. He begins to store ideas and remember things. He enjoys nursery rhymes and recognises pictures". (Mary Essex, Ph.D.)

A film from the well-known story by Louisa M. Alcott.
