Seven short stories revolving around Ned (7), Nina (4) and Joshy (2) who live in the country with their mum and dad and a big dog and stripy cat. Their everyday activities such as playing pirates, hide and seek, and baking pies (spider pies in Joshy's case) are described in a very direct style which is equally appropriate for young listeners or for solo readers of around Ned's age, who will especially appreciate Ned's dealings with his younger sister and brother.
