A hill is a house for an ant, an ant.
A hive is a house for a bee.
A hole is a house for a mole or a mouse
And a house is a house for me!

Where does everyone—and everything—live? A House Is a House for Me is a rollicking rhyme about houses. Some of them are familiar, such as an anthill and a dog kennel, while others are surprising, such as a corn husk and a pea pod. This long-time favorite is filled with pictures that parents and children will want to look at again and again.

Rhyming throughout, this book is an exploration of metaphor. The musical cadences it creates and the interesting perspective the comparisons provide make children giggle with delight.
