Abstract:

"Telus, a one year old, cries day and night, and when wrinkled Granny appears and tells Mother what to do about it, she follows instructions. She cuts up the sleeve of an old shirt and makes nine cry-baby dolls; she takes them to the market square. She throws her troubles into other people's lives. It works as Granny had said it would -- but Mrs. Bartoch is punished for it."--Kirkus.
