“We were tired of living in a house.
So we packed a bag with
sweaters and socks and scarves
and mittens and woolen caps.
And we moved to a tree....”
So begins this whimsical tale of four small children, a dog and a cat who decided they were tired of living in a house. They try a tree, a pond, a cave and the seashore, but in each place something unusual happens to make them move on to the next place—and finally home.
