A House In The Woods
This Little Pig has made a lovely little den for herself in the woods, and that Little Pig has built a small hut right next door. One morning they return from a walk to find that their big friend Bear has moved into the little den and their even larger friend Moose has moved into the little hut. It’s very nice to have friends live with you, but not so nice when both homes collapse! But what if they find a way to build a house in the woods that all four of them can share? With atmospheric illustrations and a cast of endearing, industrious character, Inga Moore constructs an inviting story of friendship that kids will be happy to visit.
