Purchase options and add-ons

It's nice to have your friends move in, but. . . . A sweet, wry tale of cooperation and camaraderie, told with pastoral artwork by Inga Moore.

One little pig has made a little den for herself in the woods, and another little pig has a small hut next door. One morning they return from a walk to find that their big friend Bear has moved into the den and an even larger Moose into the hut. CRASH! With both homes collapsed, they're all in a pickle--but what if they find a way to build a house in the woods that all four of them can share? With lush, whimsically detailed illustrations and a cast of endearing, industrious (and most accommodating!) characters, Inga Moore constructs an inviting story of friendship that kids will be happy to visit awhile.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Moore's simple text is sprightly and inviting, with exclamations and asides that make the audience feel present and included. Her elegant yet cozily rustic illustrations are particularly effective, with delicate shading and crosshatching adding rich but subtle textures. The kind of kids who love to make forts and playhouses in the backyard or living room will find this especially appealing. This would work equally well for bedtime reading or group storytime; either way, youngsters (and their adults) will enjoy spending some time in this pleasant woodsy world.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)

Moore's artwork for this appealing book has a timeless quality. Her pictures depict an inviting woodland setting and express the personalities of a group of animal friends who become an unlikely family. One can almost get lost in the full-bleed pages and spreads, many of which are wordless, evoking the peacefulness of the forest and the warmth of the animals’ relationship. A charming tale that underscores the rewards of cooperation.
—Publishers Weekly

    When she isn't writing, Athena is reading, traveling to coastal towns in the Pacific Northwest, in a lavender field or whipping up a delicious meal for her family friends.

    Athena lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and fur babies, Ragnar and Luna.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Cozy Fall Read
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2021
Verified Purchase
The warm autumnal colors and the cozy feeling of wildlife and living in a forest make this a perfect Fall read aloud. There are few books these days that offer such detailed handmade illustrations full of life and character. Inga Moore is one of the best around. I bought this for my daughter when she was a toddler. She loved poring over every detail and still loves looking at it today as a tween with an interest in drawing and illustration. I love the blended family that is presented so matter of fact-ly . There are great lessons told gently. When big animals wreck the little pigs houses (just because they are big), no one gets mad. They just look for a solution. Pleasure in little things. Finding an interesting stick is the highlight of one of character's day. Re-use. Going to the junkyard to find things to fill their home. Hard work pays off. They all pitch in to build a house. A Classic for any home library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story, beautiful illustrations
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2023

Ordered the paperback version. The pages are thick, glossy and high quality. The story itself is very sweet, and the illustrations are lovely. My daughter is only 8 months old, so is still to understand the concept of stories. But she loves looking at the pictures, and the pages don’t tear even if she grabs/mouths the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous illustrations, charming prose
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

A diverse collection of animals, including a moose, a bear, and two piglets turn to the beavers to build them a home in the woods that they can all comfortably share. The book is dedicated to the beavers as the world's best builders and especially wishes luck to the beavers who have recently returned to Scotland after some time away. It is a darling book. The kids love it, and so do I.

This is one of our family's favorite books! It's well written, but not overly wordy. It's light and slightly funny (my kids think the phone in the woods is hilarious), and the story draws you in. The illustrations are beautiful. We have lots, and lots of books (I am a former kindergarten teacher) and this is one we never get tired of. It is also a perfect bedtime story (not too long with a peaceful plot and a soothing ending).

Another great book by Inga Moore. A great story about some animal friends who work together to build a house in the woods. It's all about teamwork! I plan to read this book to my Kindergarten class at the beginning of the year to teach them about working together. The illustrations in this book are also amazing!

The illustrations and prose are such a delight. I have now read this story to my daughter many, many times, and we both stiil enjoy it. It's a blend of charm, whimsy and just a pinch of ridiculous. I'm so glad that I stumbled upon this gem.

In addition to the exceptional illustrations by Inga Moore, the story of "animals working together, being hospitable & polite, honouring promises & sharing chores" as quoted by Nicolette Jones, makes this book a complete delight.

It is a sweet book. A beautifully illustrated book that captivates- even though it doesn’t have much of a plot. Four animals build a house in the woods (with the help of the beavers) then they all go to bed. But yet, I enjoy reading it each time with my kids.

Libro in lingua inglese acquistato come favola della buonanotte per mia figlia di 5 anni amante degli animali, le illustrazioni sono molto belle e ricreano un’ambientazione autunnale. La storia è simpatica ed alla prima lettura mia figlia continuava ad ampliare il racconto basandosi sui disegni, il lessico utilizzato è semplice e di facile comprensione
