Katie Woo's family is moving to be closer to her mom's new job. Katie doesn't want to leave their house, and is afraid of the "whirlpool bath" and "sunken living room" in her new house. But she likes it once she gets there, and bunk beds for sleepovers with friends help too. Katie leaves a note for the girl who will have her own room, and the girl who used to live in Katie's new room left a note for her, too! ( )

I read the book called “Moving Day (Katie Woo) by Fran Manushkin and illustrated by Tammie Lyon. It is a book that for its illustrations and colors would appeal more to girls then boys. It is divided in three chapters what makes the book easy to read by early readers. It also has a glossary, questions and a fun project to be done at the end. The story is about a girl called Katie Woo whose family is moving to a new house. In the beginning, Katie thinks that she will hate the new house and will mis a lot her old bedroom. However, after the family settle down in the new home, Katie realized how nice it is and how happy she will be in this new place. I believe it is a very nice book, specially for teachers who work on schools with a higher rate of migrated students. I can see myself using this book in my future classrrom. ( )
