This book has stayed with me since I was a young child when it was a favourite. Miss Kitty, Mr Pup, Brown Bunny, Little Chick, Fluffy Squirrel, Pokey Turtle and Tweeter Bird all get along wonderfully together in their home, with the exception of mealtimes when they all want something different. “They got along nicely when it came to sharing toys, being quiet at nap times and keeping the house neat. But they could not agree on food.” The story is about the concept of home, but also getting along with others, individuality, and figuring out what you’re good at. It’s a Little Golden Book, so of course it all turns out for the best! After a fireside meeting, each character sets out on a journey to discover what makes the best home for them. "At last I've found the best home of all, the very best home for me." It’s cosy and comforting, and we learn that what constitutes happiness and fulfilment can be different for everyone - and that’s okay. ( )

You'd have to be made of wood not to be charmed by this one. ( )

In this story, different types of animals lived together until they found out they had different interest. The animals decide to go find a home that fits each one.
Reading this story made me think about starting school as a kindergartener. I had to find out what my interest were and who I would be friends with.
