A cute little story about two sisters who are new to their school. Twig is sad that she had to leave her uncle's dog Bo at her grandmother's house and is having trouble making friends in her new school. This story helps kids who may have trouble adjusting to new schools or new friends.
Thanks to Pixel Ink and BookCon for the advanced copy of the book.

Twig and Turtle: Big Move to a Tiny House is a delightful start to a compelling new chapter book series featuring two sisters whose lives are changed by a move to a tiny house. It’s perfect for kids navigating a move to another house, depicts a positive sister relationship, and shows kids how to handle bullying at school. Twig and Turtle are clever, determined, and empathetic girls to introduce your kids to, and I’m so excited to read more books in this wholesome series. I would highly recommend this chapter book (and the next in the series) to anyone looking for a new chapter book series for kids ages 6-9.

A sweet real-life story with the modern twist of tiny house living! Good for kids who are looking for simple early chapter friendship stories.

I won a free copy of Twig and Turtle 1: Big Move to a Tiny House during BookCon in exchange for an honest review. Special thanks to Holiday House for providing the ARC. All opinions expressed are solely my own.
This book is about Twig and Turtle, two young girls who move with their family into a tiny house. While Turtle doesn’t mind the move, Twig is sad to have to leave her Great Dane with her grandma. Not only that, but Twig is having problems fitting in at her new school. How can Twig get her dog to come live with them in their tiny house and make new friends?
I enjoyed this story. It followed the typical story arc, and it was a great early reader book. Of course, anything with a dog as one of the focal points of the story has my attention. I read this book to my son as I was reviewing it, and although he wasn’t too impressed (he’s 11 months so I’ll give him a pass

This is a short chapter book for kids from second to fourth grade. This book deals with several issues children may face: moving, bullying, and loss of pets (not due to death). Not only do Twig and Turtle have to move, their family moves into a ‘tiny house’ and they have to downsize!
Downsizing means having not much at all, which includes Twig losing ‘her’ dog Bo as he is a Great Dane and that type of dog would not fit in a tiny house.
Though the title is about moving into a tiny house, that is not the main focus of the story. The main focus is Twig trying to find a solution to keep Bo. Ultimately a solution is found and everyone is happy. Therefore, I feel the title should have been something else.
This is a story that shows that kids can set their mind to something and actually accomplish something.
There are illustrations in the book, but my arc copy states that the illustrations are not final, which is apparent between the cover of my copy and the finished book. Therefore, I cannot comment much on the illustrations except to say that based off of my copy that there may be diversity of ethnicity and disabilities shown.
I received a copy via Amazon Vine. This children’s book is recommended.
