William's House

32 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | March, 2001 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1674-4 $$22.90
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Larry Day. When William and his family settle in the New World, local conditions force him to adapt his English-style house to a new, New England style. By compressing this evolution into a single year, the author creates some historically implausible situations and some clumsy dialogue, but the text and Day's artful color illustrations and pen vignettes clearly convey living conditions in 1637.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
