My daughter asked me to read this, and I'm glad it was short. Outside of the positive messages, the book was rather dry. Simplistic, but I suppose it has more to offer to young children. I just think there are many better books within this novellette's age range.

this book was a really good book.It was about a family that went on vacation and they got in the elevator and that was there room for the night. People came into the elevator and ate dinner with them. The last day they packed up there stuff and said goodbye.

This book is, mainly, about a family that moves to SanDiago... they check into a hotel and find a house... well i wouldnt really call it a house...? But they live there? It's not in a hotel room either.

A fun, easy book to read with a kids about a family who takes up residence in an Otis elevator when their hotel in SF is full. Lots of ups and downs. They meet lots of people and even solve a crime.

I thought this was a cute story and a funny premise, what with a family parking themselves in an elevator. But the story itself wasn't as good as the set-up. Still, it's an entertaining read.

This book was so cute! It was tall and skinny, shaped like an elevator! The story itself was so cute. It was funny and wacky and very creative. You should check it out!

My third grade students loved the quirkiness(word?) of this book. I found it strange myself, but knew that student 8-9 would love it.

Read this book out loud with my kids. Style of writing was a bit dry, but nonetheless the story line is quirky and amusing.

I think the book was a little sad, had a little pinch of romance, but it had a big mystery at the end. I won't spoil the mystery :)

The four members of the Wilson family decide to spend their holiday in an elevator (“a mobile room with extras!”) at the San Francisco Hotel.

This book was hilarious.
I really think kids will like this book. It was kinda funny and to think that a family would stay in an elevator is so ridiculous that it is funny! I thought this book was cool, and most kids would like it I would never reread it, but families should read it.
