A Family for Old Mill Farm

32 pp. | Clarion | May, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-42846-5 $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Niki Daly. On alternating double-page spreads, a raccoon realtor encourages animal families to move into Old Mill Farm while a human family rejects numerous potential new homes. Finally the people see Old Mill Farm and, like the animals, find it "perfect." The watercolor illustrations are appropriately varied. The rhyming text is cumbersome, though the home-sweet-home message is comforting.
