BUILDING A HOUSE Review

Byron Barton's deceptively simple cartoon-like drawings and streamlined text may seem unimpressive at first glance. But this author has a distinctive gift for distilling essential components of any event or theme into a page-turningly smooth story that the youngest child can follow. In this volume, he describes and illustrates the step-by-step construction of a family home, beginning with "a green hill" with land surveyors pictured, and ending with a family moving into the home. It's an excellent early lesson in architecture for any child, but particularly those young children who show an interest in how objects in their environment work.

A great way to build a house - R. J. Thomas -
We are currently building a house so this book has been the perfect companion to this process. My little boy (two and a half) is able to make connections to the pictures in the book to what is going on in 'real life' with his house. If you are building a house and have a small child, I highly recommend this book.



How to build a house - Grandma - USA
A very nice book for toddlers to see how houses are made. Our grandson loves machinery and how things are made. Nice art work.



Excellent book for preschool and toddlers - M. Kaminski - Dallas, TX
When I saw this book only had an average of 3.5 stars, I had to write my own review. My two boys LOVE this book. One is 5 years old, with mild autism, and the other is a highly gifted [...]. The text IS simple, and short, but the pictures allow for plenty of exploration and explanation. We talked about all the different people involved in building a house, the family moving in when it was complete, etc.... In my mind, this is an excellent book for sharing. Parents can expand on the simple text as they see appropriate.
