The Little House That Didn't Have a Home by Neil Sullivan
The main character in this illustrated book is a cheeky and plucky little house that doesn't have a place to live. So he packs his bag, and he and his best friend Bear set off into the big wide world to find themselves their 'forever home.' Along the way they encounter lots of interesting characters, some nice, some sad, some not so nice, and some very rude characters indeed! However, the Little House is no quitter; he never gives up. And just when we think that he and Bear will remain forever homeless, something surprising turns up. The story of the Little House is told in clever, engaging and amusing rhyme. The illustrations are beautifully detailed and well observed, and include caricatures of high-rise flats, country mansions, floaty boats, and a very busy, whizzy caravan. If you love a good adventure, if you love funny pictures, if you delight in clever storytelling, you will love The Little House that didn't have a home. And if you love a happy ending, the fun starts here!
