Description
Clancy thinks his new house is too big and misses the old one, but when he starts to play with the moving boxes, Clancy meets a new friend.
Quick Summary
When Clancy's family moves into a house that feels cavernous and unfamiliar, he can't shake the feeling that his old home was just right. He gets a surprise when he discovers a stack of moving boxes and his new friend Millie, who turns the oversized rooms into a world of make-believe, building forts, rockets, and secret hideouts out of cardboard. The two kids spend the day turning the empty rooms into a playground, and in the process Clancy realizes that the house isn't too big after all it's full of possibilities. This gentle, humor-filled story is perfect for any child who's nervous about a move or simply loves imaginative play with everyday objects. Parents will appreciate that the book doesn't lecture; it just lets kids see that change can be exciting, and the short, easy text makes it a great read-aloud for early readers.
