Illustrated by
Wendy Anderson Halperin.
This idealized look at a house features a sugary text: "In a kitchen, people will pat each other on the back, give their sweeties a hug, tuck a special treat in a little boy's lunch." However, young Martha Stewarts will enjoy poring over the myriad details in the attractive illustrations of a large house filled with happy people and decorated with a plethora of fanciful marionettes, dolls, and mobiles.
