Of all the books I read to my toddler son (30 years ago), this is the one I still cherish the most. The POETRY! The PICTURES! This marvelous book gives parent and child that wonderful feeling of being in touch with the universe and each other, and it lasts a lifetime.

Where does everyone—and everything—live? A House Is a House for Me is a rollicking rhyme about houses. Some of the houses are familiar, such as an anthill and a dog kennel, while others are surprising, such as a corn husk and a pea pod. This longtime favorite is filled with pictures that parents and children will want to look at again and again in a beautifully produced, deluxe fullsized edition.

It is an astonishing book, one of the best of the year. (New York Times)
