House Held Up by Trees by Ted Kooser
3.0
Mellon Collie, this story sets a mood. My niece sad, this story makes me feel sad. The story evokes many emotions without really trying. I think he does it by putting meaning in the house by the people who live there. The house doesn't have awareness, but we know it is all lone. It is very poetic and interesting how the author does this.
The art is lovely and sparse. It adds to the tone of the book. Nature will reclaim her space after we are gone. I can't say this is a favorite book, but I love how it brought out thinking and feelings from the story from something so simple. I have to give it props for that. I also can't say the kids seem to enjoy it either, although they did think having a house in the trees would be exciting.
I enjoyed the emotions this story evoked. It is well done and so interesting.
