Excited but worried at the prospect of a new house, a boy and his sister are concerned how the change affects the dog, their toys and their friends. Once re-assured, they enter into the spirit of the move, packing, unpacking, choosing rooms, meeting other parties involved and finally settling in and showing off their new rooms. The book features full page pictures with text inserted, written from the boy’s point of view. There are notes at the back to help parents/ teachers deal with a child’s concerns regarding a house-move.
