The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton

Another children's book today. This was one of my favorites as a child. Bright wonderful illustrations and a sweet story.

This is a story of a little house built on a hill in the country.  The man who built it know that if he built it well, it would last for generations. 

The little house was happy as she watched the world around her, the animals and children through all of the seasons.  Over the years, she notices little changes. The roads, other houses being built around her. Then lots of traffic followed by gas stations. Then a subway and buildings so tall she could barley see the stars or even what season it was. The little changes had happened so slowly, but had become so big!

The little house grew sad. Would the little house ever be happy again?
