Always Room for One More: (Caldecott Medal Winner) (Owlet Book)

One of my all-time favorite books from childhood that I now can read to my children. Good rhyming, built on traditional song and has a strong indisputable moral to the story-there’s always room for one more.

Sorche Nic Leodhas was a pen name for my Great Aunt, Leclaire Gowans Alger. I'm proud that this charming book remains in print, a boon for winning the Caldecott Medal. I recently purchased this copy to present to Skibo Castle, once Andrew Carnegie's home in the Highlands of Scotland, now the heavenly Carnegie Club. Since my aunt was a children's librarian and itinerant storyteller for Pittsburgh's Carnegie Library system, I'm sure she would have been pleased to know that her book had found a home in another of Carnegie's libraries.

One of my favorite books! Illustrations are amazing.

This is a favorite story of mine. I bought it for a new grandson. It is a timeless story of sharing.

Our family has Scottish roots, so I like that this book is a traditional Scottish song and includes a glossary of terms at the back. My 9-year-old really likes it. I was surprised to see that it's considered a third-to-fourth grade reading level at her school, where they use a levelled system from A to Z. It would be appealing to younger children too if read or sung aloud.

I’ve loved this book since my children were little, love the song, nice Irish tune, wish it was in a different key however

My mother read this to me when I was a kid and I have yet to forget its underlying message of charity. I just purchased this to read to my daughter and aim to help her learn the same message.

My kids and I have borrowed this book numerous times from the library and finally went ahead and bought it. We read it all the time, I love how it's written and the pictures and the moral and so do my kids!

A rollickingng scottish folk tale with an intriguing illustrative style.

I was very pleased to find this available and still in print! It is great to have a copy of this song recorded by Sorche Nic Leodhas and I hope to pass it on to my grand children.
