Home: A Collaboration of Thirty Authors & Illustrators1992 Reading Rainbow Books.
"Thirty authors and illustrators contribute original stories, poems, and artwork that explore and illuminate the theme of belonging, be it to a physical place or a family group. Thought-provoking and...first-rate. Their beautiful words and magnificent art affirm the importance--and joy--of having a place of one's own. "

A House is a House for Me1978, Viking.
Verse by Mary Anne Hoberman
Illustrated by Betty Fraser.
In lilting, rhythmic verse, this modern classic describes all kinds of houses - some familiar, some surprising - but at the same time does much more. Filled with hundreds of meticulously drawn everyday objects presented in delightfully unexpected ways, the book itself is a house for the reader's imagination. Winner of a National Book Award, it was the first collaboration between Hoberman and Fraser.
"A brisk, even headlong rhyme plunges us into a swirling cluster of images… an overwhelming profusion of examples of houses. It is an astonishing book, one of the best of the year." The New York Times
"Here is a wonderfully rhythmic tale with repetitive lines that kids will be singing along with as the story goes on. The fun of the many hiding, snuggling, pretending places kids dream up is captured in this book." Best Books, Redbook Magazine
