Synopsis

Mrs. Murphy's snobbish neighbors see her peculiar home as a blemish in their otherwise perfect neighborhood. It looks so small they wonder how anyone could even move around inside. When THE VERY FINEST NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEST is announced, they are certain they will not win with her odd little house situated right in the middle of the block. It's barely bigger than a cracker box! says Mr. Gold. It should be torn down! shouts Mr. Brown. But the neighbors are in for a great surprise when Mrs. Murphy invites them over for lunch. As they wander in astonishment through the Marvelous Mansion, each learns the error of making judgments based on outward appearances. Robert Rogalski's outrageous artwork flows perfectly with Emma Roberts' endearing story. Children will ask for this book again and again.

Review:

Mrs. Murphy's Marvelous Mansion helps us to see that we are all one family. When we become aware that we are all the same inside understanding and healing occur. Within each of us lies beauty, wisdom and truth; a vital lesson for every child to learn. Who can forget the age old message; you don't judge a book by its cover. --Bernie Siegel, MD, author of Love, Magic & Mud Pies and Smudge Bunny
