Books for a toddler about moving house?

We're moving in about 3 weeks (fingers etc crossed!) and I'd like to get ds (just 2) a book about moving house. His understanding is good and his favourite books are the ladybird fairy stories rather than picture books IYSWIM. Any ideas?

Moving Molly by Shirley Hughes

it's about a little girl moving from town to country -- doesn't that echo your situation?

it MIGHT be too old for 2 i suppose but the pics work for any agegroup... and you say his understanding is good?

we have: A New Room for William (Bloomsbury Paperbacks) by Sally Grindley, Carol Thompson

it's lovely, with a bit about William making new friends too

Bakedpotato - well remembered! Yup we're moving from commutersville-new-town to rural idyll.

This is 50 yards from our front door!

Keep the suggestions coming - much appreciated!

The Molly book looks promising, but the William book synopsis seems to be about a marriage breakup too and I think that will be a bit too complex for ds. I've had a brief but fruitless search through amazon and I'm off to Waterstones or Borders at the weekend if anyone else has some good ideas??

here The Usborne first experiences are brilliant for any age from about 2 to 6. Amazon has one on moving house in that link. My kids had the ones on dentists and going to hospital and they really helped.
Your new area looks like heaven.

Don't know why that link doesn't work any more, but if you search "Usborne moving house" it should come up.

We have Moving Molly. I actually bought it when DD was a few months old, as it was about a girl with her name (but spelt differently)! DD's now 2.5yo and she enjoys it; has done for a good while now. As with all Shirley Hughes boo, it's lovely.

There's a Topsy and Tim one but I can't remember the exact title...
