The Old House

32 pp. | Dutton | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-525-47796-9 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. A dilapidated old house feels sorry for itself. The house's squirrel, bird, and oak tree friends try to cheer it up to no avail. A family becomes interested in buying it but isn't sure about all the work needed to fix it up. House-hunting parents (maybe more so than kids) will enjoy the plot. Friendly anthropomorphic illustrations add atmosphere.
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
