The Mountain Who Wanted to Live in a House by Maurice Shadbolt
This is an intriguing tale about a mountain that comes to life and wants to live in a house, but when he moves into the town, he scares everyone away. That is, except for a brave, practical boy called Thomas, who sets out to find out what the mountain wants. The young boy helps the mountain and saves his town by thinking of a creative way to solve the problem.
"This is the story of a mountain who decided that, after watching people in town in their warm homes with families who loved them, he wanted to live in a house as well" Beth H. Green, "School Library Connection"
