Inspired by the real-life story of moving a 139-year-old,133-ton Victorian house six blocksthis picture book from a houseΓÇÖs perspective is a charming twist on a common childhood experience. ItΓÇÖs moving day and this Victorian house canΓÇÖt imagine what it will be like to live in a different San Francisco neighborhood. She feels a lug and a tug as sheΓÇÖs lifted onto a flatbed behind a truck. A police car leads the waya crowd begins to form on the sidewalkschildren follow behind ringing the bells on their bicyclesΓÇöitΓÇÖs just like a parade! She teeters and totters as she slowlyslowly begins her journey. Readers can watch and cheer along with the clapping crowd as the house turns the first corner. Workers remove street signs that are in the way and tree trimmers clip branches that hang too low. When the house comes to a very steep hilleveryone holds their breath until she makes it safely to the bottom. Phew. But it isnΓÇÖt until she sees her family standing in her new spot that the house realizes itΓÇÖs right where it belongsΓÇöwith them. Teri Roch DrobnickΓÇÖs heartfelt characterization of a house who is unhappy with a move pairs perfectly with Jennifer Black ReinhardtΓÇÖs playful artwork that brings the Victorian house to life. Back matter details the history of house moving in the United States and conveys more information about what went into moving ΓÇ£The Englander HouseΓÇ¥ in San Francisco.
