Critics Review
“House’s roof is blown off in a storm, but help arrives in many forms… Centering a house instead of a human as the main character provides a bit of distance and humor to a potentially scary topic … Hats off!” —Kirkus Reviews“By having a personified house lose its hat rather than its roof, this scary situation becomes more humorous … The house’s sassy reactions and eventual optimism could be comforting for children who are afraid of storms or whose homes have experienced damage.” –Booklist “On a blustery day, House’s hat (or roof) blows right off, making House feel very, very exposed… Santiago’s tender and funny images, digitally drawn but reminiscent of chalk pastels, deftly give personality to House and everyone around him, and … visual humor abounds… House’s feelings are clear as a cloudless sky, its face (made of two window eyes and a front door mouth) conveying everything from sadness to gratitude. While the diverse group of human characters do their part to help House out, this is his story, and he’s a charming star. Think of this as a sillier grandchild of Virginia Lee Burton’s The Little House, with which it would pair perfectly for storytime.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
