Beautifully Illustrated with Wonderful Message

This is a simple story with profound messages that young children definitely will get and think about. The illustrations are also lovely and compliment the value in this book because they capture the attention to promote the learning of the lessons the messages put forth. Having taught Sunday school and worked in a daycare, I recommend this book. It is a wonderful addition to any library.

A NEW moon is rising

I go pickup library books for my daughter to save time and as a surprise for her. While looking for books I think she'd enjoy I came across this and was so excited! I remembered this book from childhood and was filled with joy and anticipation for finding it and of what my daughter would think.

She absolutely Loved it.

The entertaining, lively story is one to be enjoyed and cherished of a pretty pink house in the country that thought and felt. There is a lot of meaning in the story:
1 Savor each day.
2 Be thankful for what you have.
3 Be responsible and take care of what you own.
4 Cherish your family and plan a legacy you want to leave them (not just leaving money or possessions but a testament of the good character you have and want them to continue in.)
5 Do whatever you do to your best ability and do it the right way the first time.
6 Be careful what you wish for.
7 Be happy with what you have--
and so much more.

The illustrations are some of the best in existence. They tell the story almost without the need for words. There is so much color and detail and many tiny pictures of animals and children and people for interested eyes to find and enjoy.

An exceptional book and Caldecott winner. Soar!

A book with amazing illustrations that even teaches a lesson.

I absolutely loved this book as a child. As a child, I did not grasp the message about urbanization, but even before I could read I would love to look at the drawings. The drawings are really detailed and show people enjoying the countryside, construction vehicles as the city approached and buildings as the city surrounded the house. As a child who wished that there was a pond out back to swim in and who was intrigued with construction vehicles, this book captivated me. And I felt sad about the loss of the countryside, so perhaps I did actually understand the warnings of the book. A book that has amazing illustrations and teaches a lesson? You can be sure that I am buying copies for my nieces.

Great

This was my favorite book as a child and I wanted to get it for my daughter. The theme of this book is change, both positive and negative. It takes the reader through the changes in seasons by showing the reader "the birth of a city" and what the little house lived through.

I think this book is a great read aloud and has several themes you can discuss with your child or students.

The little house is a MUST READ

Beautiful illustrations. Wonderful story. There is just so much to learn through this book (seasons, construction machines, city living vs. country living, feelings, modernization, etc.) that you will want to read it again and again.
