This is a short chapter book for kids from second to fourth grade. This book deals with several issues children may face: moving, bullying, and loss of pets (not due to death). Not only do Twig and Turtle have to move, their family moves into a ‘tiny house’ and they have to downsize!
Downsizing means having not much at all, which includes Twig losing ‘her’ dog Bo as he is a Great Dane and that type of dog would not fit in a tiny house.
Though the title is about moving into a tiny house, that is not the main focus of the story. The main focus is Twig trying to find a solution to keep Bo. Ultimately a solution is found and everyone is happy. Therefore, I feel the title should have been something else.
This is a story that shows that kids can set their mind to something and actually accomplish something.
There are illustrations in the book, but my arc copy states that the illustrations are not final, which is apparent between the cover of my copy and the finished book. Therefore, I cannot comment much on the illustrations except to say that based off of my copy that there may be diversity of ethnicity and disabilities shown.
I received a copy via Amazon Vine. This children’s book is recommended.
