1972, Harper
(4) PS Illustrated by AnnMarie Infanger. This new edition is a quirky fantasy about a boy whose family will not let him help as they work on fixing up a house in the country. Tony builds his own house, and it is so successful that the family moves into it instead. Readers will applaud Tony's solution to a perennial problem, but the new art, which features characters more stereotypically cute than individual, is not as engaging as the text.
