From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–A little boy imagines what life would be like if he lived in various animal "houses." He tries out a beaver lodge, a frog's log, and even a beehive. He also samples a tree limb, mimicking the lives of a chickadee, a bat, an owl, and a chipmunk. Finally, he decides that the house that is "just right" for him has a red roof, a fluffy cat, a warm bed, and a mom and dad. This simple picture book has just three lines of text leading up to, "It's fine for [insert name of animal]... but not for me!" It could stimulate questions and discussion about the various creatures. Chorao's soft watercolor illustrations are pleasant, and the last one, of the boy sleeping in his bed, leaves readers with a cozy, safe feeling. However, there is one major inconsistency: the text says that "curling up on the ground" is not for the child, yet he is shown sound asleep there. There are several good picture books about animal houses, including Mary Ann Hoberman's A House Is a House for Me (Viking, 1978), Margaret Wise Brown's The Wonderful House (Golden, 1998), and Linda Ashman's Castles, Caves, and Honeycombs (Harcourt, 2001), which is dramatically illustrated by Lauren Stringer. Whose House? is an additional purchase.–Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR
