The House the Pecks Built

1940, Rand McNally
(3) K-3 The Peck family membersadd room after room to their house until it takes so long to get from one room to another that they have to take a train. They decide to dismantle all the rooms but the original. The charming story about making changes without thinking through the consequences continues to be relevant. The illustrations are reminiscent of the work of Lois Lenski and Virginia Lee Burton.
