Illustrated by
Christine Davenier.
Unhappy with her family's move to the country, Iris misses her busy city neighborhood. After discovering Walter, with his treehouse and hat collection, she realizes the country has its attractions, too. While the situation isn't new, this exploration of a common experience rings true. Both the brief text and the energetic illustrations help give the characters distinctive personalities.
