Details all the different kinds of houses that animals can have and what kind people can have. Rhythmic and fun to read aloud. ( )

This wonderful book is one long poem that describes different “houses” for a variety of creatures and objects. The rhyme is fun, the pictures have new things to discover each time a child looks at the pages and new words are introduced throughout the book. I love it! ( )

This is more clever and educational than many classics of kids' writing for the same age group. Very entertaining and witty, with rich illustrations that might cause some adults to go "whoa, creepy", but I loved this sort of psychedelic art as a kid. An easy book to dismiss, but I'm totally hooked on it. ( )

I'm surprised this didn't win a Caldecott, at least an Honor, back in the day.  I love how it starts out fairly straightforward, good for the littler children, but rewards the child who is patient enough to read through to the end with more and more fanciful creativity.  The pictures are indeed marvelous - bright and clear, but still intricate and rich.  The only problem that I have is on the page that includes the line trashcans are houses for garbage" and some perfectable salvageable stuff is being thrown away, like a doll that is just dirty, and a wonderful rocking horse with a single broken leg.  I'd suggest this is careless, but the last line of the book is "And the earth is a house for us all."  Well, not if we don't repair, recycle, etc...."
