I'm an adult and I enjoyed very much reading this book. As a child, I was in a family who moved about every 4 years, and I still remember how disturbing it can be. The unknown surroundings, missing old friends left behind and the prospect of maybe making new friends. This book nailed it down. It also gave a charming view of life on the farm for a city newbie slowly integrating in this new way of life and familiarizing herself/himself with nature. It teaches adaptation, a very important skill in life. And it presents such a touching family relationship. The illustrations are nice, clear and expressive. Overall, a very nice book... for children too of course!
