Customer Reviews

Family in a House

My 5 year old loved this book from the library. I really enjoyed it too! She kept saying that the house was her home and the man was her husband, and the children were her children. What a wonderful sense of family.

A great book to open coversation.

The pictures and the flow of the book are wonderful! It leads itself to a great many discussions and learning of terms as well as thinking about other places and cultures. Because of this book we are going to find additional books about types of houses and construction. My 3yr old and my 10 yr old have really enjoied it!

Wonderful treat for children as well as adults

Wonderful! A treat for children, and fun for adults to admire as well. The illustrations are superb, and the concept of touring a house and figuring out what comprises a house a house will make kids remember this work every time they enter a new house.

Wish I had read this book when I was a child

A friend of mine showed me this book, and the first thing I thought was, I wish I had read this when I was a child. How exciting to see a house from this viewpoint! An imaginative child could fall into these illustrations and easily imagine walking around in the houses. And he or she could imagine doing different things with the house, and think about living different ways. The houses are full of clever and colorful details and seem like the kind of warm, loving place a child would want to be in, and maybe want to create. This kind of book just could be the beginning of a career in architecture in a young person's mind.

Fabulous. Absolutely incredible artwork.

This wonderful, original book should be a fabulous asset to any child's library. A must have. Visually stunning.
