Creaky Old House: A Topsy-Turvy Tale of a Real Fixer-Upper

32 pp. | Sterling | August, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4027-4461-7 $14.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Chesworth. Three generations love their "creaky old house" and wouldn't change a thing--until the front door knob falls off. That sets forth a chain of events leading to plans for a major renovation until the youngest child puts her pacifier to good use: "Well, I'll be," said Uncle Bob… / …Lizzie's gone and fixed that knob!" Detailed illustrations accompany the jaunty rhymed text.
