“This Old House” is about a house that is very old.  One day a family comes by and wants it.  When the moving truck comes, the house thinks it’s the bulldozer coming to knock it down.  When they think the bulldozer is coming, all of the house’s friends come and say goodbye to it.  When the house and his friends look at the bulldozer, it’s no bulldozer at all!!  It’s a moving truck bring a family to come live in the old house.  In the end, the family fixes up the house and lives in it forever.  The family and the house both are very happy together.

I liked this book a lot!  It was fun to read.  I felt sad for the house in the beginning and then at the end I felt really happy for the house because it was going to be lived in like it dreamed.  “The Old House” is the best bedtime story I have ever read.
