Former Clevelander here. I’ve been wracking my brain about this book for months – it’s a children’s book about a humongous block of cheese being delivered on a flatbed truck, and then people carved a house out of it.
ChatGPT says it’s “The Big Block of Cheese” by Jack Prelutsky and their description sounds right, but I cannot find record of this being an actual book anywhere??
Going way out on a limb here in case perhaps you’re confusing the poem with a similar book. One I thought of was Jay Williams’ A Present From a Bird, in which the poor Bimble family uses a giant egg to make a home.
