Publisher's Note: "Many things happen the year Tomie's family builds their new house. First, there is the hurricane of 1938, which blows down trees and turns the new dirt road to mud. Then there's Tomie's first day of school, and his hilarious reaction to the movie 'Snow White.' Fans of Tomie dePaola's family stories will enjoy reading his first chapter book."
