Summary: Why Did We Have to Move Here?
Comment: William has moved during the school year and faces the many problems associated with unpacking and being the new boy in his class. He must deal with academic issues, classroom challenges, and rejection from his peers. Fortunately, William has many fond memories of success and friendship from his previous school, so he takes steps to make new friends. This is a realistic story that any child, who has experienced a move, will relate to easily. William's need for acceptance is compelling and his tenacity is admirable. This book should be part of every classroom library and shared with all new students. The illustrations continue to delight and surprise the reader each time the book is read.

Summary: A great book on moving, with text and art lovingly blended.
Comment: Davies has tackled an issue that many kids face in today's mobile families, but this isn't just another concept book. Everything seems to be going wrong for William in his new home and school, until he finds the wonders that a little courage and humor will work. The master touches here lie in the illustration -- acknowledgments are buried in the artwork, and kids are sure to enjoy following the grouchy old lady as she is stumped by William's solution. Watch for the kid with big hair.
