From what is available,this promises to be another beguiling book
in the series which includes Choo Choo and Mike Mulligan and His
Steam Shovel. Children have an instinctive personal feeling about
houses, and the idea of the friendly little house that found itself
forgotten when the city moved in on it will catch their
imaginations. The pictures are in full color an?? on every page.
Virginia Burton has a sense of pattern that makes her pictures
almost like a tapestry. (Kirkus Reviews)
The little house first stood in the country, but gradually the city moved closer and closer.

This story about the changes in the surroundings of a little house, due to urbanisation and advances in technology offers a lot of information that will enrich children's thought environment.
The illustrations also show the changes of the seasons. This book could be used as part of an educational theme study on any of the above topics.
I have 4 kids aged 8 and under and this one is a family favourite that they enjoy time and again.
