Check It Out - A House In the Woods
Take a look at this warm bedtime story in which animal friends team up to build a house to share.
A HOUSE IN THE WOODS (written and illustrated by Inga Moore)
Here is a gently humorous story that is just the thing for a bedtime read-aloud.
Two little pigs (not related to the famous three) build themselves a den and a hut in the woods, but their friends Bear and Moose try to squeeze in and wreak havoc on their homes. The solution? Build a big house together. The four friends call in the Beaver Builders who create an enormous Tudor that adults reading aloud will undoubtedly covet.

The joy here is in the detailed illustrations with Moose on his hind feet describing his grandiose plan and Bear working on setting in chimney stones. The friendship is warm and harks back to a simpler time when builders could be paid in peanut butter sandwiches. By the end, everyone will be feeling cozy.
