Reviews:
"After a small yellow farmhouse gets converted into a cozy mobile home, it sets off on a cross-country road trip. Polaroid-style photos highlight stops on the journey, including St. Louis and New Orleans. Bernardo (who previously collaborated with Fletcher on Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs) alludes to the family who have made Tiny House their new home (Though they didn't have room for all their old stuff,/ what they decided to keep was exactly enough), but Fletcher keeps them offscreen, allowing readers to imagine themselves in the story. Hitched up to a vintage green truck, aka Big Truck, Tiny House encounters other types of residences, including a pompous mansion named Missy, who chides, You can't be a home/ if you don't stay in one place ; an Airstream-style trailer; a houseboat; and a skoolie bus. Bernardo's singsong verse sometimes stretches for its rhymes, but it still sets up a mood of adventure equally evident in Fletcher's crisp, cheerful, and polished artwork. It's a story that sings the praises of tiny living and the camaraderie of the open road. Ages 4 through 8." --Publisher's Weekly
"Love, love, love! This book has everything... wonderful illustrations, a solid and smooth rhyming rhythm, a message, and a geography lesson. He could be a home anywhere, because home wasn't a place. Home was a feeling, a smile on your face. Home was a friendship and singing and a full happy heart - it was sharing good meals and where you hung up your art. The story touches on Recycle-Reduce-Reuse with the tiny house being made from pieces of an abandoned farmhouse. It shows different types of homes on wheels and also takes the reader on a trip around the USA; stopping at attractions in different states. It talks about family and community, and what home truly means. I loved how it was like a stepping stone between a traditional picture book and a children's chapter book. What a gem of a story!" --Goodreads review
