Jeremiah in the Dark Woods

by Janet Ahlberg and Allan Ahlberg

Book Overview

Winner of the Caldecott Medal. Lachie MacLachlan, the generous hero of this enchanting tale, is the exception to the rule that the Scots are a thrifty lot. In his "wee house in the heather," where he lives with his family of twelve, he welcomes to his hearth every weary traveler who passes by on a stormy night. "There's always room for one more," says Lachie, and how his grateful guests say a wonderful "Thank you" provides a delightfully warm and tender ending to this hilarious tale of kindness. ? Always Room for One More is the winner of the 1966 Caldecott Medal.

Best Book Ever

This was probably my favorite book growing up, mostly because of Jeremiah's name (you have to read it to find out...) adn now I have started buying the Ahlberg books to have my own copies! You get all the characters from fairy tales you could possibly want, plus gorillas!

WILL SPARK THE IMAGINATION OF YOUR LITTLE ONES

This book was published in the mid-70's and my daughter and I spent many hours of pleasure reading this together. As recently as last week we mentioned the book because something sparked a memory. This is a combination of many many characters from nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and children's classics. It is delightful to read, especially the first time, because you just do not know who and what you are going to run into next. I am looking for this book now to share with my grandchildren to get their imaginations kick-started too.
