What Parents Need to Know
About The Penderwicks: a Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy
Parents need to know that the behavior of the girls is a little out of control. They repeatedly rampage through Mrs. Tifton's formal gardens, despite her making it clear that they are not welcome there, sneak out of the house, lose their tempers, are not always truthful.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the behavior of all concerned. Does Mrs. Tifton have any right on her side? Is she correct in her criticism of Mr. Penderwick's parenting? What do you think of Jeffrey's solution? Also, as the book depicts a type of childhood that may be more familiar to parents than kids. This may open the gates to comparisons between today's and yesterday's childhood.
