Shelves: caldecott, picture-books

A lot of picture books just don't age well - even Caldecott winners from time to time become so dated they're just not appealing to a modern audience anymore. Fortunately, that is not the case for this 1943 medal winner. The illustrations have that unmistakable 'vintage' look, but they're also timeless. They're the kind that are deceptively simple at first glance, but once you start looking you can't stop noticing all the fun little details that mark the passage of time on each page.

One of my favorite books from childhood this story remains timeless. This "little house" began its life in a bucolic, country setting and over time its integrity becomes threatened by encroaching development and neglect. For children, the concept of time is difficult to process. This story make it seem more understandable.
Of course there is a happy ending and the house is rescued and relocated to the country. I am reminded of this story when I see small towns transformed by strip malls and unpl...more

This is a classic example of a carefully, meaningfully politicized picture book. The little house, sturdily built during a simpler age, loves her life in the country but harbors a strong curiosity of what it might be like to live in the city. Her curiosity is satisfied, with potentially devastating results, when the city encroaches on her countryside home.

Burton's tale relies on an almost universal acceptance of the pastoral ideal, and her message about the cost of rampant urbanization is told...more

The illustrations throughout the entirety of the book are especially detailed- really bringing the story to life. The watercolor illustrations are both vibrant and realistic. Within the story, there once was a Little House who sat on the hill in the countryside where it was very happy for it got to watch how the moon and seasons changed. The house was very happy out in the country, but as it saw the distance city lights- it thought about what it would be like to live within the city. “The Little House was curious about the city and wondered what it would be like to live there” (Burton, 4). However, the Little House gets to experience city life for itself as the city moves into the country side. The house becomes sad as the city makes it impossible for it to tell the difference in the seasons, or to see the stars at night. One day a woman walks by the street on the city where she states, “That Little House looks just like the Little House my grandmother lived in when she was a little girl, only that Little House was way out in the country…” As the granddaughter becomes aware that it is the same house- she decides to move it back into the country where it belongs- and the house is very happy.
I particularly loved how the illustrator decided to depict the house as in the same place but changed its surrounding throughout the years. By doing so, it is very easy to tell how the house had changed throughout the years. Because the illustrations also depict the different seasons, this book would be appropriate when teaching children the difference in what the four seasons look like. Also, this book would be appropriate when discussing industrialization in the classrooms- and thus how city life became prominent in lands which were once country sides.
Overall, I very much enjoyed this book- for I both loved the story line and the illustrations. I believe children would also love this book, and thus I would recommend it for 1-3 grade.

Before I even knew or understood what the Caldecott Medal was I loved the pictures in this book and would look at them for a long time before being ready to turn each page. I love how, as a reader, we get to watch as the little pink house on the hill lives out her life right in front of us. I think it’s particularly clever that the house is the center of each and every page while only her surroundings change. I love watching the change in seasons around her and the various activities the great-great-grandfather and his family participate in during each season. I love that we can see the progression in the clothing of the people that surround the little house, as well as the change from horses and carriages to trolleys, then cars, and eventually elevated trains and subways. The constant change in the technology and civilization that surrounds the little house is a reminder of just how quickly time flies by and an indicator of how long she has stood in the same spot. I can’t even help it that my heart breaks for the little house as she slowly becomes broken down and old, surrounded by so much smog and noise. I think more than anything this story is a testament to the old saying “if walls could talk.” If old homes could tell us their stories we would be listening for days. After their owners move on they are left, still standing still in an ever changing world. I love how throughout the book the little house serves as a reminder than sometimes the simple beauties of life are tossed aside and forgotten about in all the hustle and bustle going on around us. All it took was one person to see potential in her and the little house was rescued and good as new. I think this is an absolutely timeless, beautiful story with flawless illustrations that are definitely worthy of the Caldecott Medal they boast. This is one of my favorite classic short stories of all time and definitely a book I will have in both my classroom and my home library one day to share with my own children. Everyone should read this book, it is so relevant in today’s world and there is so much we can learn from it!(less)

What a realistic picturebook! It deserves to be the winner of Caldecott Medal. Virginia Lee Burton just described the little house as a person and gave him human's characteristics such as sight, hearing and feelings and the author used vivid words to figure out what the little house is thinking about.

Rilla isn't sure she likes the look of Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House. "Hmm." She eyes it skeptically. "It doesn't really look Intresting."

"I think you'll like it," I say. "It's about a big city growing up around this little pink house."

Pink is the key word in that sentence. She'll give almost anything a chance, if there's pink involved.

"Hot pink," she murmurs approvingly, studying the cover. There is no higher praise.

I'd forgotten how wonderful this book was. It surprises me that despite this book's being published in 1942, what happens to The Little House is the same exact thing that could happen today. I've felt the same way as The Little House, growing up in a more rural area, wondering about the city, becoming engulfed by life in the city and wanting to move back to a rural area.

I don't think of houses being picked up and moved back in the 1940s but they must have been. I've seen houses transplanted and...more

I still have the ‘Weekly Reader’ edition that came to my house in the mail many years ago. The book describes how the foundation of a little pink house is compromised, both literally and figuratively by an encroaching city. As the book opens, the house is personified as happy and content. She watches the children play and the seasons slowly change from her little hill in the country. She is often curious about the distant lights of the city and as “Year followed year…” and the children grow and move away, the lights of the city seem brighter and brighter.

On each page the city moves closer and closer with roads, more houses, gas stations and eventually big buildings being built up all around her. Even the text of the book is formatted to mirror this movement. At times the lines are written rounded like the hill the little pink house sits on, and at others it curves like the roads being built through the hillside.

The house is saddened by the neglect. People are so busy they just rush by her. The air in the city is filled with dust and noises, and she is unable to even tell when the seasons come and go. Finally, a great-great granddaughter of the original owner recognizes the house even with her boarded up windows and faded paint. The granddaughter has the house moved to another hill in the country far from the lights of the city and the little house is reborn and “once again…taken care of.”

Ironically, the book does not seem to condemn progress and the growth of modern societies. It acknowledges its inevitable approach and our own fascination with it as demonstrated by the little house’s curiosity. But I believe it does remind the reader not to allow progress to overtake and destroy the past. The book would be an excellent discussion starter on this topic for a social studies classroom.

I’d also use this type of book in a unit on the seasons for younger audiences and I especially like it for a unit on personification with older ones. Both text and the illustrations do a marvelous job of giving the little house real feelings and emotions.

When I first read this book when I was little, I thought it was a bit boring about reading about a little house just sitting there while everything around her was changing, but after reading it now, I started to see how amazing and beautiful this book really is! Virginia Lee Burton, author of “Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel,” has done a terrific job at both illustrating and writing this book as it details a little house’s experience to life in the city. I loved the way that Virginia Lee Burton made the little house seem more like a human being than an object since the little house has to deal with the changes that happened around her and this book strongly related to me and also many children who had a similar experience since where I lived, more houses are built around my neighborhood whereas the first time we came to our neighborhood years ago, there were barely any houses in sight and dealing with this kind of experience sometimes gave me anxiety, but I eventually got used to it. I also loved the message of the book about just having a simple life can make you happy since the book teaches children that you do not have to have a rich apartment complex or a huge house to be happy, you can just have a small house or a comfortable house that suits your needs to be happy with your life. Virginia Lee Burton’s illustrations are just beautiful and outstanding as ever as the little house is shown to be pink and is always smiling in every image except for the images of where the little house is in the city and is miserable. My favorite images in this book were of the scenes where the little house is shown in several different seasons like winter, fall, spring, and summer and you can see the atmosphere around the little house change as each season comes by such as in the summer, everything is green and in winter, everything is white. I also loved the way that Virginia Lee Burton contrasted the country as a peaceful looking place by having light colors around the environment while the city is shown to be a dark and dreary looking place.

All in all, “The Little House” is a beautiful book about various changes going on in your surroundings that many children will definitely enjoy for many years! I would recommend this book to children ages four and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book for smaller children.

The artwork is of a rare, fine quality, of course, and the story is something soft and soothing and very pleasant, even as the little house faces the tumult of change as the decades of her existence go by.

The little house is built with much love, by a man for his family. He has a dream for the house that he has made, that she would never be sold as a mere possession, but would stand for generations to come, that this same house that he has erected through his own concentrated effort would eventually provide a home for his great-great-grandchildren, and someday that their great-great-grandchildren would make it their home. The family changes but the little house stays the same, sitting atop her hill in the countryside, watching the sparkling stars at night and observing the soft glow of the city lights on the horizon. The little house wonders what it might be like to live in a giant city like that, as part of the bright lights.

As always, though, change comes to the world of the little house. Slowly, the city over the horizon begins to expand, encircling the little house and dissolving the countryside in which she has been embedded until she no longer is a house in the country. The little house has become a country house in the middle of urban sprawl, unwanted and unnoticed as the loud bustle of street life surrounds the quaint but sturdy family structure. The little house is saddened by the inevitable changes of time and no longer wishes to live in the city, but longs for the simple hills and the deep, quiet nights that had once enshrouded her. The little house wants to be home again.

Seemingly outmoded and on the verge of destruction, the little house is granted a reprieve from the one who is most worthy to grant it. Once again, the intent of the little house's original builder is honored in full, and the little house happily becomes once more part of the plan for which she was designed all along. She finds that she is a lot more content that way.

This is a high-quality picture book that has been a bona fide classic for many, many years now. I believe that the charm of Virginia Lee Burton's style will never grow outdated, just as the little house retained its innate worth through all the years of tumultuous change that surrounded it. This story has a lot to say about the most important things in life, and I hope that it will always find an audience willing to lend a thoughtful ear. I would give two and a half stars to The Little House. (less)

It begins with the Little House sitting solid and content on a quiet hillside in the country. From her perch on the hill, she is able to observe the beauty around her. She sees the children playing, the trees blossoming, even the city off in the distance. The seasons change, and eventually so do the years, but as Burton says “the Little House stayed just the same.” As time (and progress) marches on, the city that she saw in the distance moves closer to the Little House, and in turn so do the noise and the busy people that go along with it. As the world changes around her, the Little House sits old, run-down and abandoned, missing her life in the country where things were quieter and she could watch the seasons pass. She goes unnoticed for a long time, until one day someone (the great-great-granddaughter of the man who built the house) stops in the midst of all the chaos and realizes the value that the Little House still holds. In the end, she is lifted up, physically and metaphorically, and happily moved to a new refuge in the countryside, where she belongs.

Every time I read this story, I’m amazed that it’s about a house and that it’s a 44-page picture book. It expresses such important, timeless concepts like the cycle of life and the double-edged sword of progress. The Little House truly becomes a living character that readers can empathize with and relate to, despite the fact that she never even speaks. We feel her joy at the beauty life brings every day and her pain as time moves on without her, knowing that these emotions are in store for all of us, as we grow old. On a larger scale we understand her inability to keep up with the overwhelming changes that she is confronted with as the years pass. Hopefully this story will continue to help young readers understand the impact that progress has on their world and it will leave them with an appreciation for all things, old and new. The story would also not be complete without the notable illustrations that bring the house to life and enable the words to flow so smoothly from page to page.(less)
