Remember the days when we were kids? When there were things such as the Book Mobile, where teachers read books after school?
Virginia Lee Burton's 1942 story, The Little House, likely was read in the Book Mobile as well as during kindergarten story times. In 1952, Disney adapted The Little House into a cartoon, narrated by Sterling Holloway.
The Little House reminds us of a time when children's stories allowed for anything & everything to be depicted as sentient beings. It was also the 2nd and last of Burton's works to be adapted. The other? Her first novel, Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel.
Rating: A.
