Itzy Bitzy House by Christine Morton-Shaw
A whimsically humorous story told in verse is complemented with funny, full-color illustrations on every page of this entertaining picture storybook. A poor little mouse stands out in the rain, wishing he could find shelter in the itzy bitzy house down a twisty lane. While he's feeling sorry for himself, along comes furry-purry pussycat, so the mouse must run and hide. Next comes a dog who frightens the cat. . . then a goat who frightens the dog. But at last there appears a wrinkly crinkly man with twinkly winkly eyes. He's the fellow who lives in the itzy bitzy house--and he has a pleasant surprise for all the frightened, rain-soaked animalsChristine Morton-Shaw has felt visited all her life. She often has to sidestep people she then realizes others can't see at all. Sometimes these impressions or visions can take a sudden step closer: It is as if the skin between this world and another world begins to get thinner. Things in that other place become clearer and louder. I'm quite happy with all this strangeness and charm, and can't imagine life without it.
She feels at home in ruined buildings or medieval houses and streets. Ancient scripts and old manuscripts and diaries seem alive to her. Some of the things in The Hunt for the Seventh have happened to her, particularly the gray glimpses and the whispers.
Christine Morton-Shaw lives with her family in Sheffield, England. She is the author of The Riddles of Epsilon and many picture books for children.
