Review
The illustrations look to be multimedia mix,which I like, but slightly on the "dark" side, making the story seem scarier than I would like it to be. Even though the text "lightens" up toward the end, the illustrations do not make it seem like a happy ending. They leave when it is raining and travel at night. One page shows daytime, then they arrive and move in at night. I don't know if this book would help a child alleviate their fears of moving or make them worse.
Overall Book Score: good
