super cute story about moving and how sometimes a good-bye feels like a bad-bye.

A really nice book about a family's journey to a new home in a new town. The rhymes and two simple words on each page make the story accessible for toddlers. Jonathan Bean's detailed illustrations might be enough to keep an older child's attention. In the family's little red car, each passenger always has an emotion. Movement and speed are shown with an intentionally blurry background.

I really liked Jonathan Bean's illustrations in other books (especially Building Our House), but I wasn't really feeling the art here. It was a little too busy and chaotic, though in a sense I suppose it captures the nightmare of moving. Some of the rhymes were a bit forced too.

The simplicity of the text, in rhyming couplets, is enhanced by charming illustrations highlighting the emotions that go along with the events in this story of a boy whose family is moving to another state.
