5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, Colorful, a Wonderful look at family, November 29, 2009

This review is from: Too Many Visitors For One Little House (Paperback)
I turned the pages of this delightful book enjoying the wonderful illustrations of the people of El Camino Street. When the new family moved in - a mom, a dad, three kids, and a fish- the neighbors kept an eye out for trouble.... and all was fine, until the visitors arrived. 

And with every turn of the page more family arrives much to their neighbors dismay... they label each visitor from the noisy teenagers, to the off her rocker Grandma.... this book really shows how people can judge others before they really even know them. 

I think this would be a wonderful read for children to discuss learning to accept others even if they are different from ourselves. Who knows... you just might experience something incredible and new!

5.0 out of 5 stars Colorful and fun!, November 12, 2009
This review is from: Too Many Visitors For One Little House (Paperback)
With brightly colored illustrations by Veronica Walsh and story by Susan Chodakiewitz, Too Many Visitors For One Little House will surely charm kids. 

The story begins with the neighbors of El Camino Street who are comfortable and set in their ways. They don't like pets, kids, big families, noise and disruptions. So when the young family with three kids and a fish move in, the neighbors watch out for trouble. Their worst fears are realized when a large camper pulls up next to the little house and unloads the grandparents with prune juice, aunts and uncles with dirty laundry, teens with music, skateboards, and arms full of clothes. 

But with the chaos, the neighbors find that guests also bring laughter, music, good food, and good cheer. 

Lighthearted and fun, Too Many Visitors for One Little House is an enjoyable read. It's release is well timed to coincide with visits these upcoming holidays.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for the "Golden Rule", September 22, 2009
This review is from: Too Many Visitors For One Little House (Paperback)
This is a wonderful children's book about how to "make nice" with your friends and neighbors. Nice illustrations and the story is a cute lesson for kids. 

The book is about a rowdy family that moves into a quiet neighborhood and has to learn how to get along with neighbors who are not-so-welcoming. This would be a good book for someone who was going to make a move to another house and wanted a nice picture-book to discuss the transition with their kids. 

One thing, though. There's a grandpa with a toilet plunger in his hand, which was weird-- assuming he had some giant bowel movement is a strange thing to have to explain to a toddler. But it could be funny, if you approach the subject right. Just a little note of caution.
