A House is a House for Me

Mary Ann Hoberman
Illustrated by Betty Fraser
(Puffin Books)
978-0140503944, RRP £3.99, Paperback

Buy "A House is a House for Me (Picture Puffin)" on Amazon

A rhyming catalogue of dwellings for animals, people and a whole host of other items: 'A book is a house for a story/A rose is a house for a smell./My head is a house for a secret./A secret I never will tell. The American origins of the book are apparent from some of the objects and this could provoke an interesting discussion on the different words people use for the same article. A real feast for eyes and ears.
