\"\"<\/a>MOVING THE MILLERS’ MINNIE MOORE MINE MANSION: A True Story, <\/a>by\u00a0Dave Eggers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0J\u00falia Sard\u00e0, Candlewick, June 6, 2023, Hardcover, $19.99 (ages 4-8)<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n

A true story gets the tall-tale treatment in Dave Eggers\u2019 delightful Moving the Millers\u2019 Minnie Moore Mine Mansion.<\/em><\/p>\n

It all started when John \u201cMinnie\u201d Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry Miller. Then Henry married a local lass named Annie and built her a mansion, hence the \u201cMillers\u2019 Minnie Moore Mine Mansion.\u201d After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked \u2014 losing all but the mansion \u2014 she and her son took to raising pigs in the yard, as some are wont to do. But the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie and her crew would remove the whole mansion instead \u2014 rolling it away slowly on logs \u2014 while she and her son were still living in it? <\/em>\u00a0\u2014Synopsis provided by Candlewick<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving the Millers\u2019 Minnie Moore Mine Mansion<\/em> is the kind of book you just have to pick up. From its tongue-twister title to its stylized illustrations, it\u2019s one that\u2019s fun to read from beginning to end.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a special kind of energy to Moving the Millers\u2019 Minnie Moore Mine Mansion<\/em> that makes you want to dig it. Eggers\u2019 phrasing makes it a joy to read aloud and J\u00falia Sard\u00e0\u2019s lively artwork begs to be explored.<\/p>\n

I can easily see this book being read on repeat at home, and there are lots of fun applications in the classroom.<\/p>\n
