(3) K-3 A door on a white page faces text beginning, "This door was once a colossal oak tree"; a spread showing the door within the oak follows. Freedman supplies histories for other components of a house, each followed by a delicately dazzling spread portraying them in nature. The notion that "this house remembers," and the mixed-media illustrations, may leave young readers in open-eyed wonder.
