This is more clever and educational than many classics of kids' writing for the same age group. Very entertaining and witty, with rich illustrations that might cause some adults to go "whoa, creepy", but I loved this sort of psychedelic art as a kid. An easy book to dismiss, but I'm totally hooked on it.

I loved this book as a child. I particularly loved the page with the Mad Tea Party.

A HOUSE IS A HOUSE FOR ME contains colorful pictures by Betty Fraser that teach children that everyone and everything has a house. Ms. Hoberman, the author, attracts the reader with her remarkable imagination and easy wordage. Anywhere from one to four sentences per page, she rhymes words and at the same time tells a story. This is a nice read-out-loud book for children five and up or read-alone story for kids that are eight and older.

A very fun tale of everyday objects. I actually sang this book aloud!
