The Big Adventures of Tiny House

I liked this book! It reminded me of Little house by Virginia Burton. I love the way the little house was made from a larger farm house and then taken on the road! great idea for a book!

Get your orders in now! Due to be published at the end of April, but worth promoting early so teachers and librarians can get copies to read before the North American summer holidays and the road trips that many families will take.

Cute little picture book with all kinds of messages about peace and goodwill wrapped up in a road trip hitting a few highlights across the United States. Home is where the heart is, and sometimes home moves around and has lots of different neighbours.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and would buy it in a minute, especially for a classroom setting. The rhyming leaves a little to be desired, but kids aren’t going to care. The illustrations are bright and inclusive, a little something for everybody.

It begins much as the classic The Little House does, with the city encroaching on a tiny house on a farm with apple trees. Rather than move the house to the country, like The Little House, a group of people decide to transform it. Note the different kinds and colours of the many hands below.

They give Tiny wheels but . . . oops, he can’t move! Wait! Here comes Big Truck, and she not only has wheels, she has a trailer hitch! [Note: Tiny House is HE, Big Truck is SHE.]

Tiny House and Big Truck. She has come to help him move!

And . . . they’re off! They meet another tiny SHINY house, familiar to all American holiday drivers.

As with Pixar's Cars movies, it’s the vehicles who are the characters, although we do see people in the campgrounds outside and on lakes. They hit taco stands, desert gas stations, meet all kinds of vehicles and houses and attend a jamboree!

Thanks a lot to NetGalley and Inner Flower Child Books for the preview copy. I think this will become a firm favourite of lots of people.

My first grade class and I read The Big Adventures of Tiny House by Susan Schaefer Bernardo. My students. loved this new book and we discussed how it compares to the Disney movie Up and The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton. It was a delight to see that a house can have adventures and does not have to stay in one place. We loved how the book explores themes of home, community, and friendship. We recommend this book for children of all ages. I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

My son and I read this book together, he LOVED it. His kid rating: 5 stars!

What an adorable rhyming picture book with a wonderful message. A tiny farmhouse gets recycled into a house on wheels. As Tiny road trips through the States he meets lots of friends. Tiny learns that home is in your heart and where your friends are.

"He could be a home anywhere, because home wasn't a place. Home was a feeling, a smile on your face."

Tiny is a tiny home made from the reclaimed wood of a farm house. Once made to sit idly in a field as the world passed him by, Tiny now has adventures as big as the sky! ( I tried the rhyming approach--how did I do? ;])

This story is a super cute tale about a tiny home and the adventures it has as it travels across the country, making new friends and fun memories. Even as an adult I enjoyed it! Tiny homes seem to be a thing that is taking the country by storm, and as they should because who doesn't want the cost effective way of life added with the adventure of getting to be anywhere? With this new storm there is bound to be a conversation with younger children about what this new life looks like and how a "home" doesn't have to be cemented to the ground.

Really cute story. There was an old farmhouse that was pushed ou tof the way to make room for big city buildings. The house was sold and torn down. They used pieces and parts of it to make a tiny house which could be hooked to a truck and taken all over. Tiny got his adventure, he got to tour the country, and when he was lonely he could stop for a while in villages made for other tiny houses.

The book is sweet. It ells about places all over the country, about friendship, and most important that home is a feeling nit just a place. Great colorful illustrations that really caught the kids attention as well as the story.

The cutest thing I have ever read. So amazing. I would suggest no changes.

This is a story about a farm house. Building take over farm land and a beautiful farmhouse is abandoned and put up for sale. The house gets recycled into a mobile tiny house named Tiny. Tiny goes on an adventure and sees many things that he has never seen before. During his travels Tiny meets many different types of houses; two of which are a camper and a house boat. He stumbles upon a Tiny House Jamboree, where many tiny houses gather to celebrate each other. Tiny goes all over America and makes many friends. He eventually settles down and creates a tiny house village on an organic farm.
I loved this book. It teaches children that homes come in many different shapes and sizes. Home isn't just a place, it's where you are happy and your heart is full. I enjoyed the rhyming used in this book. I always like when children's books have rhyming. It's more entertaining and fun for me to read to kids that way. Courteney Fletcher did an amazing job on the illustrations. Every page is beautiful and full of fun details. I also like how this book ties into the tiny house movement that is spreading across the world. This would be the perfect book for a family living or moving into a tiny house. I highly recommend this book.

5/5⭐

This was a very well written story. I loved the story being told through little house's eyes. The message of home not being a place but everywhere was very clever. Great illustrations that made this story wonderful.

I have an aunt and uncle who, upon their retirement, sold their house and bought an Airstream trailer and just drive around the country full time. I've always thought it was so cool! And here's an adorable book, from the perspective of a tiny traveling house, that matches their adventures. I loved that Tiny House meets all manner of other traveling homes (including an Airstream!) and introduces readers to the myriad possibilities! Tiny House is just so endearing, and this was such a unique story to share with young readers <3
