(3) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Lewis. The narrator of this evocative book, with its sunlit watercolor illustrations, complains about moving to her fourth house. After all, she's just eight, while her grandmother, at sixty-five, has only lived in two homes. Nevertheless, by taking some ideas from Grandmom's "homegrown house," she finds a way to make the new house her own. The young narrator's conversational tone lends a pleasing intimacy to the story.
