Ned's New Home (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

The cartoon illustrations are filled with warm colors and comic touches. Endpapers depict the life cycle of the apple from seed to fruit and back to seed. This reassuring tale will be appreciated by the read-aloud crowd while also supplying a subtle lesson in ecology.—School Library Journal


Tseng’s debut picture book is full of tongue-in-cheek humor. His watercolors have just the right touch of whimsy—full of humor and expression yet at the same time simple enough for the youngest listeners. Ned is a worm that is sure to be welcomed into children’s homes, no matter what kind of material they might be made of.—Kirkus Reviews

Product Description

A rotting apple is no place for a kind-hearted worm like Ned, so off he sets to look for a new home.

A pear doesn't feel quite right.
And a watermelon seems too spacious.
That pile of blueberries? All wrong!

Kevin Tseng's lighthearted text and vibrant watercolors will have preschoolers searching right along with Ned until he finds the perfect place to call his own.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Ned's New Home, August 11, 2009

This book can be so interactive. I took my niece to the Farmers Market and she tried to pick a new home for Ned. Understanding shapes, sizes and fruits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Cute Story!! Wonderfully Illustrated!, October 10, 2009

By	Robia G. Pautler (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We received this book as a gift and I read it to our 2 year old tonight as one of her bedtime stories. It was such a cute story!!!! The colors and the different fruits throughout are great. Our little girl loved the pictures and story -- she excitedly named all the fruit in the story and the ending made her giggle. When I finished reading the book, she looked at it and gently gave it a kiss. Truly deserving of 5 out of 5 stars and a top notch kiss rating from our 2 year old.

This little book is a treasure. The simplicity of the story and the illustrations brings sheer delight to all who hear or read Ned's story. This happy worm busily travels his way through several fruits looking for a new place to live that will fit him perfectly. This is a great book to add to your library or to give as cherished gift.
