A House is a House for Me by Mary Ann Hoberman illustrated by Betty Fraser ( 1978) caught my attention because of the front and back cover illustrations. They are busy with pictures of animals and children smiling directly at the viewer. The title page is delightful. Each letter in the title is formed by objects. The letter O in the first house is a the basket of eggs. And the O for the second house is a pumpkin. The O in the word for is a raccoon. I love the illustrations all through the book. And I was pleasantly surprised by the rhyme. It’s melodic and downright fun to read.
