Multi award-winning picture-book writer Margaret Wild, well-known for titles such as 2004 CBC Honour Book Little Humpty; Kiss, Kiss; Fox; Tom Goes to Kindergarten; Old Pig and Jenny Angel, is admired for her sensitive handling of difficult topics as well as her lively, playful texts for preschoolers.
PreSchool-Grade 3–Borrowing from familiar cumulative childrens rhymes and stories, Wild adds her own inimitable touch to this offering about a crooked man, his crooked cat, and their crooked mouse, all living in their crooked little house. The residents cannot remain in their home because of its unfortunate location at the side of the railroad tracks. Thus, one move leads to another, from a desert vicinity to riverside property. So with a creak and a groan, the little crooked house heaved itself up, and took a step....Then it ran. Although the group experiences some disastrous events, each one plays out with humorous results, and all the while the slightly askew family sings, Yippee-yi-yay! Bentleys rollicking, rowdy watercolor illustrations beckon readers to come along on this topsy-turvy trip. This wild and bumpy ride through several locations is one that readers and listeners alike will delight in and want to repeat, perhaps singing Yippee-yi-yay again and again themselves.–Andrea Tarr, Corona Public Library, CA
