Mommy is going to work, so a little girl goes to visit her Auntie for the day. After bringing some toys down from the attic, they play all day. But where is Mommy? Will Mommy come back to get her?

Auntie’s House was written to address a fear that children often have – that their parent has abandoned them. At the end of the day, this little girl’s Mommy picks her up from Auntie’s house, reassuring her that she hasn’t been left behind.

I liked the theme of this book, in addressing this common childhood fear in a positive way. But I would have preferred to see this story written in prose, since I’m not a big fan of rhyming books unless superbly done. Illustrations by Michael Aldrich are bright, colorful and cheerful.

Auntie’s House is a fun read for young children.
