July 26, 2010I just read this to my five-year-old, who checked it out from the library. I'm laughing because it's about two people who totally just SHACK UP together!
Camille lives on one side of the hill, and Franzi lives on the other. Each has a houseful of animals, but they are both lonely. So they set off to find companionship and eventually find each other.
First they move into Camille's house together, but it is too crowded. Ditto for Franzi's house. So they take both of their houses and build one big house and live happily ever after.
Not at all offended by this, just laughing.
