Our Review

This classic Dr. Seuss title, refreshed with new illustrations, takes young readers on a global tour of different homes, using the author's signature rhyming style to explore diverse living spaces and family life. The rhythmic, easy-to-follow text makes it an excellent choice for early readers practicing their skills, while the vibrant, charming artwork by Katie Kath provides a contemporary visual feast that highlights cultural details.

The new illustrations breathe fresh life into the classic text, making the global journey feel current and engaging for today's children. Young readers developing their literacy will connect with the predictable rhymes, while all children will benefit from seeing how kids around the world live, play, and welcome friends. It's a timeless concept delivered with modern warmth that builds both reading confidence and cultural awareness.
