"Playground dynamics become testy as a willful child attempts to exclude everyone else in this simple, humorous lesson in human relations. . . . Deft and funny." --THE HORN BOOK George has a house made from a big cardboard box, and he says that no one else at the playground can come in. Not Lindy, because George's house "isn't for girls," nor Freddie, because it "isn't for small people." Sophie can't come in because, George says, "This house isn't for people with glasses." But when George leaves his house for a moment, everyone piles in, and on his return, George gets a taste of his own medicine. Aided by Bob Graham's striking illustrations of an urban playground, Michael Rosen tells the tale of a little boy who makes a big discovery -- that letting everyone into his playhouse is a lot more fun than keeping them out.

nycnostalgia: Canal Street, 1970s Canal Jeans used to be a pretty cool place. Bargain hunters would root through big cardboard boxes of garments that were lined up in front of the store. I picked out an old NYPD coat from one of the boxes once–it was the double-breasted style with the two rows of brass buttons. I was a bit of a long-haired freak in those days, walking around wearing this coat until it lost too many of its buttons. Yes, Canal Jeans used to be a pretty cool place. Later they moved onto Broadway nearby and started to get kinda respectable. There’s a video about them here…yeah, they got respectable. (via )
