A House in the Woods by Inga Moore

Walker Books, hardback, 12.99.

When two little pigs leave their huts one morning, two very large friends move in - Moose and Bear.

It's nice having friends to stay, but not when they are so huge that they wreck your home. So, with the help of a team of eager beavers, the four friends set about building a house big enough for all of them. Was all the hard work worth it? You bet. The four shop, cook, share stories around the fire, then climb the stairs to to their comfy beds and sweet dreams.

This story is a delight. There are no monsters, no nasty surprises or twists in the tale, just loveable characters, atmospheric images and wry humour, which together create a touching celebration of friendship and a story that children will love.
