Classic story
My wife is a preschool teacher and got this book on my recommendation, having remembered it from my own childhood. It's definitely too advanced for her three year olds, ultimately, but its still a beautifully illustrated story about time and change. For older kids (like it says in the item description I ignored when I purchased it) I think it still holds up, in spite of its age.

Simple story with simple values.
Telling tale about simple things being over looked, simple things forgotten as time passes what a great book, to come back to even 36 years later or more. Enjoy the book even though sad but glad. How ended very simply put straight forward what happens with many things in life.

È un classico, ma un pochino noioso
È più lungo che aspettavo. A mio bimbo di 10 mesi non piace per niente, ma riproviamo quando è un po' più grande. Le illustrazioni sono belli e la storia è carina.

Une histoire très émouvante
The Little House raconte l'histoire d'une petite maison qui se retrouve encerclée par la ville agressive et bruyante. L'histoire est vraiment émouvante, l'autrice décrit les sentiments de la petite maison au fur et à mesure du temps. Un grand classique de la littérature pour enfants qui me met toujours les larmes aux yeux.
