Such a lovely and gentle book about imaginative, outdoor play.
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.

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!
A group of children decide that they are tired of living in a house so they pack up their stuff and go into the woods and try living in a bunch of different places like a cave, in a tree, on a raft, etc but eventually they decide to go back home and live there.
