"Playground dynamics become testy as a willful child attempts to
exclude everyone else in this simple, humorous lesson in human
relations. . . . Deft and funny." --THE HORN BOOK
George has a house made from a big cardboard box, and he says that no
one else at the playground can come in. Not Lindy, because George's
house "isn't for girls," nor Freddie, because it "isn't for small
people." Sophie can't come in because, George says, "This house isn't
for people with glasses." But when George leaves his house for a moment,
everyone piles in, and on his return, George gets a taste of his own
medicine. Aided by Bob Graham's striking illustrations of an urban
playground, Michael Rosen tells the tale of a little boy who makes a big
discovery -- that letting everyone into his playhouse is a lot more fun
than keeping them out.
