The House in the Meadow

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-3393-9 $$15.95
(4) PS Illustrated by Paige Billin-Frye. From diggers with backhoes to carpenters, plumbers, and painters, this poem describes the building of a house for a couple and their new baby. Although at times the rhyme seems forced, the idea of updating the poem "Over in the Meadow" with a construction theme is original, and the cut-paper and fabric collage illustrations are cheerful and effective.
