Review
5 Star Review Vibrant text, a diverse animal cast, and enchanting illustrations artfully combine in this retelling of a classic Russian tale. In the forest, a little wooden house "with nine neat windows and a red front door" sits "empty, cold and sad." That is, until a mouse spies it, moves in, and begins fashioning a cozy space. Soon, a frog notices the house, asks the mouse if there's room for him too, and is welcomed in. Progressively, rabbit, fox, owl and more join them, and make a cheerful home, filled with song and dance. But when a bear, drawn by their festivities, seeks residence, the animal occupants sorrowfully worry the house isn't big enough. Sure enough, when Bear tries to fit inside, the house tumbles down. But the bear is determined to make things right, and altogether, the creatures build a new home, perfect-and spacious-for all, in a happy, harmonious conclusion. The lively narrative, incorporating repetition and sound effects, is ideal for reading aloud. The fanciful, folk-style artwork depicts the characters and scenarios in vivid hues with neon-bright touches, enhanced throughout by decorative embellishments, varying layouts, and playful details, such as spread featuring a band of forest creatures wielding musical instruments. Well-told, charmingly illustrated, and with a positive portrayal of inclusiveness and creating community, this noteworthy picture book is sure to delight. -- Shelle Rosenfeld * Booklist * 'a vibrant modern retelling of a classic Russian folk tale...Rendered in electric hues...like a delectable candy box... There is a lesson here - about friendship, and sharing - but the book never feels plodding or pedantic. Its rhythms are as surprising as its vivid hues, full of small but powerful subversions of kid-lit logic: The animals show up in bunches, not page by page... What's more, there are no grown-ups here. The animals are peers: They create their own society, and resolve their own conflict. Which may be why the lesson just goes down like the truth.' * New York Times *
