Lots of busy pictures show us the Spark family moving house. We see them before the move, having the new house painted and carpets laid, packing up, and then getting settled in. Everyone is named - the family, their pets, even the moving men (and woman)- a nice reassuring touch. Cartwright's people have very expressive faces, and we always know what they are thinking. A completely revised edition of a book first published in 1992.
