Somebody’s House
By Katrina Germein, Illustrated by Anthea
Stead
Walker Books March 2013
At the bottom of the town lies a long
looping street.
I wonder who lives here. Who will we
meet?
This whimsical rhyming story
picture book is all about exploring the neighbourhood, and specifically the
street at the end of town. Using the outer exterior of each house, the girl
imagines what happens inside each place and who might live there. It has a sweet
ending which will warm everyone’s heart who reads it. With brightly coloured
illustrations created with mixed media including acrylic paint, oil pastels and
sgraffito (which is produced
by applying layers of plaster tinted in contrasting colours
to a moistened surface).
Recommended
for ages 3 – 5 years old
