School Library Journal - 10/01/2025 K-Gr 3—Stella and her stuffed hippo Roger do not want to move away from Chicago, where everything feels like home. Armed with a list of her top five reasons why she can't move, Stella tries very hard to convince her parents that she and Roger can stay in their house and not move. What if she forgets her house and her friends? What if the new home doesn't smell like banana bread? With digital illustrations in bright, friendly colors, this title provides a gentle, even bland, introduction to the concept of moving and leaving behind everything familiar. The Chicago elements feel unnecessary and disjointed from the rest of the story, as they set the scene for a move away from a detailed place to a nondescript location. VERDICT Fine where there is a need for a book on the subject, but unnecessary for a robust collection.—Elizabeth Speer - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
