Inspired by the real-life story of moving a 139-year-old, 133-ton Victorian house six blocks, this picture book from a house's perspective is a charming twist on a common childhood experience.

I laughed out loud as the house gets up and starts marching down the street with their carpet bags... funny story from a true story.
Entertaining and fun. Wonderful illustrator.

  • INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY: Readers will love learning more about how a house can move along with its family in an author's note complete with a photograph of the actual house (although unlike in Reinhardt's illustrations, the house did not dance around on its own legs).
  • FRESH TAKE ON COMMON EXPERIENCE: Set from the POV of an apprehensive house who has lived on this street its whole life-over one hundred years!-this picture book offers a new perspective on moving sure to delight and reassure children going through this experience.
  • ADORABLE ARTWORK: Jennifer B. Reinhardt's charming, detail-rich endpapers show off a cute and colorful collection of whimsical Victorian homes. Fun touches like the house's legs, vine arms, and floral carpet bags personify the house as an endearing protagonist and comforting companion for readers on the same journey.
  • TEACHES ADAPTABILITY: Although the move is difficult, this house has a crowd of people cheering along the way. This picture book teaches readers that no matter how scary change may seem, family, encouragement, and a little bit of ice cream can make even the heaviest changes feel a whole lot lighter.
