I used this book with seventh graders. After reading it, we wrote poems that were inspired by those in the book.

Read this to a PreK class today as introduction for homes/habitats unit. It's okay- old fashioned and maybe a little too much for PreK. Kind of reminded me of a dated version of Liz Garton Scanlon's "A Sock is a Pocket for your Toes."

Not sure why this was on my list but it is so I must read it ;)
Great illustrations, cute rhyming poem, and covers about the whole gamut of houses.

Imaginative and thought provoking! I don’t look at the world the same after reading it.

Oh dear, I absolutely love this book. The rhymes give Dr. Suess a true run for his money in my opinion, especially since Hoberman uses real words throughout. It's a very lyrical, bouncy, and fun poem. The illustrations are beautiful and have great contrast for little eyes. I do wish that the word "house" was "home" throughout the book, just to be more inclusive of all living situations. But this is otherwise a new favorite for me to read with the baby!

Very very fun! The rhyme is great and will have kids singing along. The illustrations are very cute and very detailed. Kids will enjoy finding all the items in each picture. Its got a great message, and parents can get a lot out of this as well. This would be a great story time or bedtime book!

I love the illustrations- some of these would be awesome as framed prints! The rhymes are decent, and I think it would make for a fun read-aloud.

Amazing illustrations + a fun, bouncy rhyme that dives poetically into the concept of houses... for people, animals, objects, and so on. It is a long book though, so may take a few reads before a toddler has patience to get to the end.

This story is great for comparing the community and differences people have. The main idea of the story is that even though people are different, they all have a common place where they are safe; their home. I love this story and students laugh at the different connections Hoberman makes between coats, hats, animals, and people.
