Title: Too Many Visitors for One Little House
Author: Susan Chodakiewitz
Illustrator: Veronica Walsh
Publisher: BookSurge Publishing
My synopsis: This is a cute story about a family who moves into a new neighborhood--where the neighbors don't appear to like kids, pets, or generally anything that might disrupt the status quo. They are always on the lookout for trouble--and they think they see it coming!
A very large RV pulls up in front of the new neighbors house and a myriad of relative proceed to unload. Accompanied by wonderful illustrations depicting all of these relatives, many eccentric, the story rolls along to a satisfying ending of neighbors who aren't really looking for trouble - they are just looking to be included!
My thoughts: This was a very cute book and my 4-year-old has enjoyed me reading it to him. He even reads along when we come to the sentence "Too many visitors for one little house!" The illustrations were adorable--and include a little dog which the author is trying to name. You can visit her on her website to enter the contest to name the dog.

Children's books are the best! I was always curious about how a write and illustrator collaborate on a children's book and I liked Susan Chodakiewitz's back story about how she found the illustrator for this book. The words and illustrations work together to appeal to a child and it looks like there was magic between Susan and Veronica. I look forward to reading this book!

I just removed a prior post by "anonymous" (I like to call them anony-mouse - because they never leave their names) Everyone is entitled to their opinions - but the posts will only be left if they claim them - if you don't believe enough in what you wrote to leave your name - then go post somewhere else.
Do count me in!
