Illustrated by
G. Brian Karas.
The narrator of this rhyming story describes his family's moving day: the huge, jolly moving men; his reluctance to leave his house and neighborhood; his mother's comforting song. In a resolution that comes a bit too quickly, the boy discovers he likes his new place, too. The illustrations add touches of humor and reflect the story's lively rhythm.
