This story is about siblings that decided to live outside their home and explore different places.
This book is great to use as a questioning tool because it makes students think about the events that are happening in the story and make them think of what would happen next.

This is a wonderful story book. My children loved it very much. It reads very smoothly and poetically.
In this book a troop of children tired of living in a house go through four wonderful forts that all fall apart on them before finally returning home with a treasure from each one. I love all the forts they make!
