The House on the Hill and A Walk in the Woods

by Christin Couture


"The House stood on a hill.

Its bright red door could be seen from miles away.

Nobody ever came or went, so

we decided that nobody lived there."

Nine children and a large black poodle take a chance and enter this bright red door, spending a day in playful exploration. Wander with them through the curious rooms of an eccentric Victorian house and discover its mysteries and treasures.

"It is the perfect spot to play dress -up and hide-and-seek, and let the imagination run wild"

- ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nine children become adventurers for a day when they head out from home for a walk in the woods. They make their way across a quiet stream, gambol through a meadow blossoming with butterflies, and hike up over hills to a view of the valley below. Then they enter the woods, and a whole new world of flora and fauna begins to reveal itself.

From treetop to mushroom cap, Christin Couture paints a beautifully nostalgic portrait of the American outdoors and its natural treasures which are waiting to be discovered.

"This book, with its delicate and natural portrayal of the outdoors, is delightful for children."
