By Elise Daniel (Durham, NH United States) -

As a librarian, this book has all the elements for a good read! The tone is fun and upbeat, the characters varied, and the connection with childrens' busy and hectic lives real. The lively illustrations perfectly complement the "Too many visitors for one little house" refrain, which is a line I expect young children will be repeating as they read or listen to the book. Bravo to the author and illustrator for this whimsical, charming book!

Carol Duan, Librarian, writes:

The professional cast of Booksicals presented a very clever and exciting weaving of dramatic theatre and picture book. The music was a delight as well! The cast of “Too Many Visitors for One Little House” interpreted the story so well and presented it with such perfection that they enthralled the packed audience of mostly preschoolers and captured the attention of infants and adults as well! …I can just picture the many children that will be asking for the story to be read and re-read to them throughout our community. Now that’s success! The author, Susan Chodakiewitz, is enthusiastic and totally dedicated to her craft of storytelling. I highly recommend the Booksicals performance of “Too Many Visitors for One Little House” to anyone wishing to promote the love of reading in children.

Gitty made me read her the story 4 times tonight!!! They love the music and can’t stop singing it. We went on the website and can’t wait to download the recording. Congratulations!
