A Big Quiet House
Books
Author: Heather Forest
Illustrator: Susan Greenstein
There once was a man whose house was very small, the story opens. It was cluttered with things from wall to wall. With a tiny, cluttered house, giggling children, and a snoring wife, the poor man can't get a good night's sleep. If only, he thinks, I had a big quiet house! He throws off his covers and goes to visit the wise old woman at the edge of the village. Surely she can help him solve his problem. And she does, but not without giving him some very unusual advice.
