Hey, Mama Goose

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3 - "When the old woman who lived in a shoe decides she and her kids are too cramped, she calls on the local real-estate agent, Mama Goose, who suggests they move into Snow White and the seven dwarfs' dwelling - they're staying at Rapunzel's. And so this romp begins..."

We had all sorts of fun with this book today!! Written in rhyme, with fun illustrations.
My ds-9, dd-7, ds-4 and dd-3 all enjoyed it--over and over. It was especially fun when the littlest kids would yell out the fairy tale characters as they appear in the story.


The ending is very sweet when the Old Lady that Lives in a Shoe and all her children realize, "there is no place like home" even if it is a tight squeeze for a large family.    Sounds like my house.
