The Little House Book & CD [With CD]

　　小房子每天站在丘陵上看風景。除了日月星辰和四季的變化之外，小房子還看到周圍的景物，隨著挖馬路、開商店、蓋高樓、鑿地下鐵……，而一點一滴的在做改變。結果，小雛菊和蘋果樹不見了，代之而起的是都市的烏煙瘴氣和行色匆匆的人們。還好，小房子的主人的孫子的孫子的孫子發現了，她把小房子移到一個有小雛菊和蘋果樹的丘陵上。小房子又回到了它喜歡的鄉下，靜靜的，欣賞大自然的風景。

This picture book about the changes that come to a little house is beautiful and timeless.

The little house first stood in the country, but gradually the city moved closer and closer...

In 1942, Virginia Lee Burton created The Little House, and since then generations of readers have been enchanted by the story of this happy home and her journey from the pleasures of nature to the bustling city, and back again.

Virginia Lee Burton (1909-1968) was the talented author and illustrator of some of the most enduring books ever written for children. The winner of the 1942 Caldecott Medal for THE LITTLE HOUSE, Burton’s books include heroes and happy endings, lively illustrations, and a dash of nostalgia. She lived with her two sons, Aristides and Michael, and her husband George Demetrios, the sculptor, in a section of Gloucester, Massachusetts, called Folly Cove. Here she taught a class in design and from it emerged the Folly Cove designers, a group of internationally known professional artisans. She is the author of many classic children’s picture books, including MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL and KATY AND THE BIG SNOW.
