An endearing story about finding a home is recounted in "The Cottage At The End of the Lane."

In addition to the affecting storyline, the book contains colorfully illustrated foldouts and flaps enabling youngsters to see both the inside and outside of the houses.

Peggy Doll, with bright button eyes and rosy cheeks, will win many hearts.

I bought this book for my now 12 year old daughter at Christmas about 8 or 9 years ago and it was always her first choice every night at bedtime. She and I new it by heart. I still read it to my 8 year old son. (he loves it too) It is a sweet story with an underlying good moral. The illustrations are wonderful, your child wont let you turn the page because they want to see every nook and cranny of the fold out (not pop-ups which rip) houses. The detail is so interesting without being distracting for a child. I have fond memories of this book. Any child would find it interesting. It is a simple and enchanting book.

The Cottage at the End of the Lane by Elaine Mills is hands down my daughter's favorite childhood book. And there were so many she loved! It is a sweet story that demonstrates the art of giving and kindness (as well as those who don't show those qualities), as the central character seeks a home. The artwork is endearing. I have looked for this book in stores for years and would love for it to be re-published so I could stock up for gifts.

I'm very satisfied with this purchase! At the beginning I was skeptical about buying a used product. Fortunately, I was not disappointed, thanks to the seller!
