A review by snowelf
House Held Up by Trees by Ted Kooser

3.0

I had very high expectations for this book, I was so sure I was going to love it. It's just so exciting to run into brand new books of this visual quality. But the story was a bit of a let down. I can't quite explain why. I was probably hoping for something more magical or poetic and a little less mundane. My son stuck to it, but I was feeling sorry for him, as it's pretty long on words for not finally saying very much. It's still a good book though, I just wish it had been a little ... more!
The illustrations however were stunning, just like I expected. But, they may have less appeal for kids than adults.
