When the Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe runs out of room for her big family, she turns to her trusted real estate agent. Mama Goose has the perfect house: Snow White's cottage, complete with seven small beds. Snow White and the dwarfs take over Rapunzel's castle; Rapunzel moves in with Rumpelstiltskin, who spins her hair into gold; and so on, until all of the residents of Fairy Tale Land are bumped into a different dwelling. But somehow the new abodes don't feel quite right. Will they all find their way back to Home Sweet Home? Narrated in rollicking rhyme and illustrated with unique, candylike artwork, this house-swapping adventure is too good to pass up!
Great new spin on classic characters - parents will like it too!

I was coordinating 'Family Reading Night' at my local library. We decided to do a Bedtime Story theme and hired someone to play Mother Goose. We bought this book and read it to the kids when we broke into storytime/snack/craft groups. They liked it and the parents thought it was pretty cute too. We gave one copy away and bought one for the library. We have sinced check it out a few times and my kids always enjoy it. Since a Kindergarten teacher told me during the planning that she likes reading Nursery rhymes to youngsters, I have tried to read them to my kids from time to time. So they are somewhat familiar w/ the characters re-tooled in this book.

This book is adourable!!! You'll get to stroll down memory lane, with clever twists on familiar rhymes with many of the Mother Goose stories coliding into one . The artwork is wonderful and vivid, the text very lyrical, both my 20-month old and I love it!
