This Is Our House
Age 3+
Picture Storybooks
A little boy who makes a big discovery: that letting everyone into his playhouse is a lot more fun than keeping them out.
George has a house made from a big cardboard box, and he says that no one else in the playground can come in. Not Lindy, because George s house 'isn t for girls', nor Freddie, because it 'isn t for small people'. Sophie can t come in because, George says, 'This house isn t for people with glasses'. But when George leaves his house for a moment, everyone piles in and, on his return, George gets a taste of his own medicine.
