I grew up in the mountains of Virginia.\u00a0 In my three room country school, there were very few books, but there is one I remember very fondly and would love to have a copy of it.\u00a0 \u00a0I don’t remember the title or author, but I would have read this around 1946 or 1947.\u00a0 \u00a0Here is a gist of the story.\u00a0 A family lives very happily in a tiny, tidy one room house.\u00a0 One day they decide that their house is too small so they begin adding rooms onto the one room.\u00a0 They continue to add so many rooms (one behind the other) that they seldom see their family members.\u00a0 I believe that the house became such a curiosity that train tracks were built along side the house so tourists could see it.\u00a0 \u00a0The family members navigated this long house on roller skates.\u00a0 One day the family happened to meet together in one of the many rooms and decided that they were much happier in their one room.\u00a0 So they proceeded to tear down all of the added rooms until their house was back to the one room.\u00a0 Here is the part that intrigued me and the reason I believe I still remember it.\u00a0 On the final page, it said.\u00a0 “If you want to see what this family did next, turn back to the front of the book and read it again!”<\/p>\n
