PreS-Gr. 3. "Dishwasher clicking. / Pipes pinging. / Listen closely. / My house is singing." Written in a variety of styles, this collection of spare, immediate poems describes the living, noisy personality a little girl finds in her house: the "weary" old roof, the "stubborn" back door, even the sock-eating dryer. Sometimes the girl argues with her house as if it were a sibling: "Why is it that / whenever I make my toast / a little crispy, / you tell on me?" she whines to the smoke detector. At other times, she finds deep, sweet comfort in favorite things: "You rock my body calm. / You rock me into sweet dreams," she tells her rocking chair. Chodos-Irvine's large, sunny, illustrations reflect the words' interesting perspectives with slightly skewed angles, elemental shapes, and airy compositions that don't overwhelm the poems. This is a natural choice for classroom poetry projects, and little ones will delight in the accessible language and delicious personification of familiar things. Gillian Engberg
