I really enjoyed this real life issue of children I know. It's like looking through a window from outside into the lives of young children in poverty. I loved the fact that mom and dad were there in the home in the small apartment and how even was determined for something better, something for himself. This is a great book for families with small children to teach them to appreciate, cherish, and to take care of what they have. Evan's Corner is an excellent book. I enjoyed the illustrations. The abstract art was perfect for this type of story and complimented the story very well. ( )

Too long & complex for most tots, but wonderful for children just figuring out that they have a metaphorical place in the world, and can make a real place of their own even if they only have one small corner of a shared room.  Turns out that Evan learns there's something else, at least as important, as a place of his own, though....
