Product Description
George says the other children can't play with the cardboard house because they're girls, or they're small, or they're twins. But when George goes to the toilet the others don't let him back into the house because he's got red hair. George finally agrees that the house is for everyone.

I have to disagree with R. Fry. I don't think it overdoes political correctness. As a parent who was at one point bringing up a small child in a tiny urban flat it was extremely refreshing to find a children's book that didn't represent a world of white middle class children living in a pristine suburbia with names like George, James and Cameron. Finally, a modern book for kids, about kids, that doesn't shut a mock-Victorian leaded-light door in the face of the ordinary child.
Besides the political issues, it is a realistic portrayal of young children learning to share and work together, and it's really fun!

I used this with my reception class as an introduction to our houses and homes topic. The added extra is the great amount of PSE work that can be developed from this story. It has helped our children to learn to share, to not discriminate against others because of the way they look or act and most importantly it has helped those in our class who find it hard to share to realise that they are not alone and that they can change. Michael Rosen is one of our favourite authors and tells the story in such an engaging non-threatening way everyone can relate to and enjoy. A super book.

Good to have the DVD in the car. Nice little story about sharing - just a shame you can't get big boxes that easily any more

Super fast condition and delivery
Even though it said the book had been used it was in immaculate condition as if it was brand new. Super fast delivery and the children in my class loved the book.
