Summary: Always room for this book in my classroom
Comment: Adapted from a Scottish folksong, the text reads like a poem be-cause the words have not been changed. The illustrations are done with very simple techniques of hashing and sponge painting, but do a very effective job of supplementing the text which can be difficult at times due tot he Scottish dialect. However, a glossary is given as well as some background information on the folksong. The music is also provided so it could be performed by the class to better understand the story and broadening both the activities that can be done and the ages this book can be used with.
Why 5 stars?:
This book is a great introduction into the form of Scottish folksongs. The background information as well as the sheet music provided will enable it to be used in a much broader spectrum. The illustrations, while not stunning, will definitely catch the eye. Younger children may not appreciate the aesthetic qualities of the pictures or text, but will still enjoy the comical story.

Summary: Simply the best
Comment: Without reservation, simply one of the best written and illustrated children stories ever.
This tale, based in Scotland, portends familial strife at a particular domicle. Their house is simply too small. Yet, the family is continually interrupted by uninvited strangers passing through their town with problems of their own, knocking on their door.
Although there is no physical room in the house, the family somehow makes room for the visitor. And then, the family experiences an ultimate discomfort.
Read the rest. A happy ending that will bring tears of enrichment every read.
I lost my first copy. I just ordered 5 more. 2 for me (in case I lose another) and a few for those friends that just had babies.
Hey, a Caldecott winner, too.....

Summary: Can the house take in one more visitor?
Comment: This book is a short children's version of an old Scottish folk song about Lachen MacLaclan and his family who always have room for visitors in their home. They keep letting visitors in until their house bursts. But, all is set aright by the end of the song, the music also being provided in the book. And, children always seem to like to sing. The illustrator, Nonny Hogrogian, won the 1966 Caldecott Medal for best illustrations in a book for children.
