Big Quiet House
A nice story about the importance of perspective. A man is annoyed by the sounds of his house, but after taking some silly advice from a friend, he learns that the sounds of his house aren’t so bad after all. It is a classic folk tale with beautiful illustrations. 32 pgs, pb. ~ Kathryn
With a tiny, cluttered house, giggling children, and a snoring wife, the poor man can't get a good night's sleep. If only, he thinks, I had a big quiet house! He throws off his covers and goes to visit the wise old woman at the edge of the village. Surely she can help him solve his problem. By the end, we learn that sometimes nonsense makes the best sense of all.
