This is a wonderful children's book. It will hold their attention and the illustrations are wonderful.
I received a complimentary copy from Rowman & Littlefield, Backbeat via Netgalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Precious illustrations mixed with a beloved song. It was fun to read this to the littles with a great sense of nostalgia! Loved it!

I ADORE this song, and was excited to see the illustrations, but honestly it felt a little amateurish. Not for me, though the intro was lovely.

This is a lovely illustrated book highlighting the lyrics of the iconic Graham Nash/CSNY song loved by so many of a generation. The detailed full-color illustrations are wondrous yet familiar. They coordinate with the calligraphy text and the layout to produce a cheerful, welcome moment. Whether to delight those who grew up hearing the song, or to enchant younger readers just discovering it, Our House is a very fine selection.

Graham Nash and Hugh Syne have taken Nash’s 1971 hit with CSNY and made it into a beautiful children’s book. Most of us are familiar with the melody and lyrics so you would probably find yourself singing along to the words; I know I certainly did.

The pictures are lovely with a lot of detail so that you can find yourself lost in them. I imagine they would be very stimulating for a young imagination. That is if you actually let a child have this book rather than keeping it for yourself. And, that’s probably why I haven’t rated it higher. Our House is a very, very pretty little book with the wonderful lyrics and, while I could see you having a sing-a-long with a child, it feels more like a present for the adult rather than the intended audience.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A charming, sweetly illustrated children’s book featuring the lyrics of Graham Nash’s song, OUR HOUSE. Perfect for those, like me, who would love to have a keepsake about the song they love so well, and who wish to share it with the children in their life. Enchanting!

Thanks to Graham Nash, Rowman & Littlefield, and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are mine.

I loved the song back in the day, and still love it today! This book? Not so much. Tad lame reading it. I haven't a clue who the audience is for it. Sorry, Mr. Nash, it was better sung. This feels like a money grab.

My parents are big CSNY fans and loved this song. I picture this book as being something that can bring grandparents and grandchildren together for a little quality reading and music time they will both appreciate!

Graham Nash has given us wonderful music with his time in Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. It is from this musical group that the iconic song Our House was derived. This lavishly illustrated and beautifully rendered book explores the lyrics visually. What a wonderful job Nash and his illustrator have done here!
