I'm Not Moving! by Wiley Blevins is a very cute children’s book. When her father gets a new job, a little girl and her family have to move to the city. The little girl keeps saying she will not go and comes up with imaginative excuses as to why they cannot move. In the end the little girl realizes that moving is not so bad.
I'm Not Moving! is a wonderful book to show kids that things may not be the same when they move, but there will be things to like. I read this book with my 4-year-old. The wording is pretty easy to read and she was able to read the book by herself. We both enjoyed the illustrations by Mattia Cerat. They were very colorful and very appealing to the eye. The part that had me laughing was the giant subway rats. My daughter thought it was funny that they were wearing clothes. I liked that Blevins had the parents show the little girl around the city so she could see that there were similar things, such as animals and dance classes in the city too.
Overall, my daughter and I really enjoyed I'm Not Moving! This is the kind of story that I like my child reading. It shows the differences between two places and that not all change is bad. Wiley Blevins has written several other books. My daughter and I look forward to reading more of his work in the future.
