"This engaging picture book clearly presents a wealth of information." —Booklist, ALA

About the Author

Virginia Lee Burton (1909-1968) was the talented author and illustrator of some of the most enduring books ever written for children. The winner of the 1942 Caldecott Medal for THE LITTLE HOUSE, Burton's books include heroes and happy endings, lively illustrations, and a dash of nostalgia. She lived with her two sons, Aristides and Michael, and her husband George Demetrios, the sculptor, in a section of Gloucester, Massachusetts, called Folly Cove. Here she taught a class in design and from it emerged the Folly Cove designers, a group of internationally known professional artisans. She is the author of many classic children's picture books, including MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL and KATY AND THE BIG SNOW.

Very pleased, nice detail and the CD a bonus. This edition also had some interesting info on the author. I highly recomend this childrens book especially for families that are planning on moving. My parents got this book for me when we moved from a little house like the one in the book to help the transition of moving into a big city.
