The House Across the Street

The House Across the Street by Jules Feiffer is a book about a little boy. He lives across the street from an older boy who has a perfect life. The boy across the street has 4 dogs, a better bike, parents who listen to him whenever, he doesn't have to go to school, and so on. At the end the older boy goes on vacation and the little boy walks across the street to the house. The little boy pretends that the boy invites him in and they have sleepovers. I am not exactly sure what happened at the end because there is a picture of the two boys playing videogames. But he had just said that the boy was on vacation. So I am not sure if the boy is imagining the whole thing or if the boy across the street is his friend. I liked the book at the beginning because it showed how imaginative the little boy can be. Also, little kids always think another child has it better somewhere else. But towards the end I just got confused with what exactly was going on.
