Bulldozers come and topple all the trees on Branch Hill, leaving nothing to sustain the wildlife. So all the small animals set out to find a new home. Far away on Willow Hill, Mr. & Mrs. McGinty fill an outdoor lunch box they set out at night for any hungry animal that might pass. The did not suspect just how many hungry little animals would before daybreak find Willow Hill a welcome home. Charming illustrations. The Haders were Caldecott Medalists for "The Big Snow" in 1948.
