Need a House? Call Ms. Mouse

So this book has been haunting me for YEARS!  Hannah and I loved this book as kids (I don't think we owned it, we must of checked it out of the library over and over) but as adults we could not remember the name of it.  Only that it was a book about animal homes without many words.  We could remember specific pictures but not the damn name of the book.  Try google searching "book about animal homes" some time... it will send you all over the place.  We pestered our parents and they had no memory of the book.  I've been thinking about it for years and have tried searching the internet a few times.

Then one day at Powel's Adam's mom described a book to me that she remembers from Adam's childhood (Adam doesn't remember it).  We were pretty sure we were talking about the same book.  A couple months later she sent me the title!  I was so relieved to finally have the title, but it turns out this book has a bit of a following and is quite rare and expensive.  I've been following it on amazon for 6 months... finally it dipped under the $100 mark and I bought it and called it a birthday present to myself.  Phew!  Here are the photos of the pages.  Hannah and I loved designing our own houses on paper as kids and I think this book was the inspiration.
