Tan Koide

A three-star book until I 1. saw it through the eyes of toddler who knows the Goldilocks story and 2. noticed the details, especially the unsuccessful alternate use to which the firewood was put. A smallish format and gentle colors give it a nostalgic vibe. Not worth hunting down if you don't have a toddler, but worth reading if you do, or if you can find it easily.

Perfect bedtime story. I love both the text and the illustrations. In this story, a number of small creatures are out for a hike and get lost in the fog. They take shelter in a cabin.

Summary: This book is about animals lost in the forest in some fog. They all stumble upon the same empty cabin and decide to try and sleep there. Eventually the owner of the cabin comes home and it happy that everybody is safe in his house.
Opinion: I found this book to be really cute. It’s a nice message about being hospitable and sharing ones space when we live in a world where that isnt currently very common. The illustrations are very cute.

Picture book. This book starts off with three gophers who get lost in the woods, thankfully they are able to find a house. They knock on the door to see if anyone is there, but no one answers so they walk in to find an empty house. They get into the bed, but before long hear footsteps fallowed by a knock on the door. Turns out a couple of bunnies were also lost and needed a place to spend the night, so the gophers let them in. After the bunnies, three raccoons have the same problem. They are show more all in bed when the homeowner, Mr. Bear, comes in and instead of being mad he makes them supper and lets all the animals sleep over. show less
