A little girl goes through all the little things, living and not, that makes up her home. Reading this poetry book, I felt an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. She describes each thing in her home as if it were alive and talking, from a welcome mat to the vacuum cleaner her family uses. It brought me back to my childhood, when I was little and would make up these grand stories and everything seems so much more magical. The author really captures what a home is and what it can mean to the person in it. The illustrations and the way that some words are formed into what they are describing adds to the carefree childlike mood that the story creates. This would be a great book to read in a classroom when introducing poetry and poetic devices as there are many throughout. ( )

The book contains a few good poems and mostly the poems follow what the little girl does throughout her day at home. The Poems also show how her home is a home and how she even has her own hideaway place in the house. It just depicts how cozy a home can be. ( )

This was a nice collection of poems about a little girls home. I really enjoyed reading these poems. I thought about my own home and how my house is cozy, the smells, and the sounds. This could be a great lesson for students to write poems about their home and reflect on their lives. ( )
