Publisher's Summary:
In this unique construction book for kids who love tools and trucks, listeners join a girl and her family as they pack up their old house in town and set out to build a new one in the country. Mom and Dad are going to make the new house themselves, from the ground up. From empty lot to finished home, every stage of their year-and-a-half-long building project is here. And at every step their lucky kids are watching and getting their hands dirty, in minute after minute brimming with machines, vehicles, and all kinds of house-making activities! As he imagines it through the eyes of his older sister, this is Jonathan Beans retelling of his own familys true experience.

Captivating.
Gosh this book was a hit in our house, and not because we're a family of builders. (On the contrary...) This sweet picture book about the adventure of building a house completely fascinated our 3-1/2 year old granddaughter and led to many, many re-readings and many, many questions about plumbing and wiring. (I had to go to the internet to answer some of her questions.) Factually very interesting for a small kid, but more than that, a quite charming description of the author's own experiences as a kid helping his family build their home. (Though he turned the narrator into a girl-- not quite sure why that was necessary.) But so sweet, so charming, so heartfelt. Loved it.
Fantastic story for tool-loving kids
My 3 year old adores this book! The story is engaging and the illustrations are bright and interesting. It's fun to watch the house and family grow over the course of the book.
Perfect Book!
This was just a delightful book & lovely story. My 3.5 year old grandson is very much into building things & construction but he has moved passed the basic hammer & bang type of story. Each page not only told a story with words but there was a second story going on with the illustrationsâ.we read it 2 times back & back & he couldn't wait to bring it home & read it some more!! The bucket truck was a huge hit, because both daddy & Papa work on oneâ..Once my grandson brought the book home, I also heard from my daughter, telling me how much she loved this book!!
BUILD A HOUSE!!
A charming concept book about a young family building a house in the country. Great watercolor/pen illustrations add to the charm. the book reinforces health family life and planning. there are some details in the pictures that parallel the text.
Such a charming story!
We LOVE this book. It's such a sweet story, with great illustrations - it's been one of my 3-year-old son's favorite books for the past several months, and we read it nightly... and I'm still enjoying it as well! We've given it to several friends for birthdays, as well, and everyone always raves about it. My son loves to look for all the little details - watching the mom's belly grow, looking for the kittens when they arrive, looking at the endpapers with the before and after of the land, etc. Highly recommend this book.
