The House across the Street

(3) K-3 In this witty manifestation of the grass-is-greener phenomenon, a boy imagines that life is absolutely perfect for the kid who lives across the street. Feiffer perceptively fleshes out his narrator's fantasy with details kids would find enviable, e.g., "He can eat on the expensive rug in front of the TV," and illustrates it all with his usual urbane, expressive ink and watercolor art.
