The Little Stone House by Berta & Elmer Hader*

Orginally published in 1944 

My friend helped me remember this title-a favorite picture book of mine when I was in elementary school. I was thrilled to reread this book! 

The Doe family is tired of living in their cramped apartment in the city. As their search for a home in the country, they come to the conclusion that they could buy land and build their own home. The story relates how the family clears the land and builds their home. At the end of the story, the family feasts and celebrates with friends who participated in their project. This book contains themes that I cherish-hard work, family, and celebrating.

I would love to purchase this book....currently, the only copy I can find on Amazon is $75!

*Highly recommend.
