Too Many Visitors for One Little House (Giveaway/Blog Tour/Book Review)


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.

ARC Arrival: Too Many Visitors for One Little House

Too Many Visitors for One Little House by Susan Chodakiewitz illustrated by Veronica Walsh

Publisher: BookSurge Publishing

I received this book for a book tour in July with Pump Up Your Books.

About the book: A story about 3 crabby neighbors, a new family on the block, a big family reunion and the importance of being included.

About the author: Susan Chodakiewitz is a writer, composer and producer. She lives in Los Angeles in a lively household filled with music, 3 sons, a husband, a Dalmation and lots of visitors. Susan loves picture books and several years ago she wrote a musical based on one of her favorites. She realized then, it was time to start writing her own picture books. Too Many Visitors for One Little House is Susan's debut book. If you happen to see Susan sitting in the children's section of the library reading picture books with a big smile on her face, do say hello.

About the illustrator: With a sense of humor and identification to the characters, Veronica Walsh debuts illustrations in Too Many Visitors for One Little House. Ms Walsh studied art and design at California State University, Long Beach and worked as a graphic designer for many years. She lives in So Cal with her husband and three cats.
