(Subtitle: A Topsy-Turvy Tale of a Real Fixer-Upper)
Until the day the doorknob breaks, the family likes their house just fine. But oh what a fuss when the doorknob refuses to be fixed and requires not a screw but a whole new house.
What I thought: I've been a fan of Ashman since I read her Stella, Unleashed. This wasn't a disappointment. A rollicking, rhyming narrative about a family and their house. The text has real rhythm. a great read aloud. Older readers (school age) will probably appreciate it more than preschoolers.
