Author & Illustrator: Virginia Lee Burton
Why Selected: Award winner
Literary Merit: A nice little story about a house that starts out in the country but is gobbled up by a growing big city. Eventually the house is moved back to the country. Since the house is the character it is a little different than most books.
Share: Due to length, I'd say it's more of a class read.
Appeal: Grades 1-2
Awards: Caldecott-1943
