Synopsis
After reading a book about faraway places, a young girl closes her eyes and dreams of all the places the road outside her house could take her, from a treasure-filled cave, to a hat shop, past a witch's house, even to Mexico

From Publishers Weekly
This is the third of Laroche's picture books ( Sing a Song of People ; General Store ) using his cut-paper collage technique. He colors, cuts and pastes, coming up with dazzling results. In this book--which shows tremendous growth over his previous two--a girl takes a walk past a seaside town, through a witch's thicket, into smart shops, across a desert, to Mexico and to Maine. The pages are intricately designed, with each small fruit, leaf and stick of wood individually cut out and applied to create busy, colorful scenes. The slim story line, told in verse, merely provides a framework on which to hang the intriguing art. Observant readers will marvel at the artist's patience and creativity. Ages 4-8.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- A young girl falls asleep reading on her porch and in her dreams travels to harbor towns and shops, to a witch's house, to a treasure cave, and to Mexico and Maine before she comes back home again. Laroche's cheerful paper-sculpture collage illustrations are a remarkably suitable match for the sturdy simplicity of this verse, first published in 1924. Children will be delighted by the playful paper-doll quality of these enchanting pages, as fresh as the air that invigorates travelers on Field's road. A welcome addition to picture book collections large and small. --Ann Stell, The Smithtown Library, NY
