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.
