"Once upon a time there was a Little House way out in the country. She was a pretty Little House and she was strong and well built."
The Little House, on a hill surrounded by apple trees, watches the days go by, from the first apple blossoms in the spring through the winter snows. Always faintly aware of the city's distant lights, she starts to notice the city encroaching on her bucolic existence.
First a road appears, which brings horseless carriages - and then trucks and - then steamrollers. Before long, more roads, bigger homes, apartment buildings, stores, and garages surround the Little House.
Her family moves out and she finds herself alone in the middle of the city, where the artificial lights are so bright that the Little House can no longer see the sun or the moon. Tucked beneath the railways above her, she often dreams of the field of daisies and the apple trees dancing in the moonlight.
Finally a woman recognizes her and whisks the Little House back to the country where she belongs.
For generations, young readers have been delighted by the whimsical, detailed drawings and happy ending. Virginia Lee Burton's classic The Little House, winner of the prestigious Caldecott Medal in 1942.
