Perfect for introducing work on equalities in a Primary school and setting out the ethos where there are no outsiders in our school. George refuses to let children join his game and demonstrates discrimination by using their characteristics as the reason; twins, people who wear glasses and people who like tunnels are all denied entry in to his house. By the end of the story George realises that his house is for everyone!
Also great for assemblies. I cannot recommend this book enough.
"This is our house" is included in the book list for "No Outsiders in our school: Teaching the Equality Act in primary Schools" by Andrew Moffat, available soon from Speechmark.
