It's the best house...It's a very fine dwelling remarks his mother and father. Clancy seems less convinced...he investigates the pile of empty packing boxes outside his new backyard. At that moment, Millie, his new next door neighbour...climbs over the fence and asks Can I play too?' (taken from Nola Allen's 'Cover Book Review' in Magpies: Talking about Books for Children, Vol 24, No. 4, Sept, 2009).
