5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful pictures, simple story - great for preschoolers, June 6, 2007

This review is from: Moving House (Usborne First Experiences) (Paperback)

We purchased this book to assist our son, who is almost 3, with our upcoming overseas move. While this book is not geared towards overseas moves, the pictures of the parents sorting their belongings, items going into a moving truck, and items being unloaded into a new home are wonderful. Our son has requested that we read this book many times -- it is in his "favorites" rotation.

This review is from: Moving House (Usborne First Experiences) (Paperback)

This book was very helpful for my 2 daughters (2 & 7). It gave them an idea of what to expect when we moved so it was not so frightening. It was very simple and easy to understand.

This review is from: Moving House (Usborne First Experiences) (Paperback)

This book is great to make moving to a new house, school, or city easier. It isn't one that we read again and again but it did give a great opening for conversations of topics related to the move. It is one that I will share with friends when moving. But I've never found a Usborne book that wasn't super.
