Hatke’s lavish watercolor illustrations are magnetic and spirited, as the menagerie of curious and strange creatures are strewn all over the land. In this final title, the house plunges down a craggy mountain and is left in total ruins, with only the sign, a doorknob, and the front door remaining.

In sequel Julia’s House Moves On (2020), the house literally goes on a journey, taking the home and all its inhabitants with it.
