## Description

Byron Barton, the celebrated creator of numerous picture books for very young children, including Trucks , My Bus , and My Car , builds a house, step by step, right before your eyes! A machine digs a big hole. A cement mixer pours cement. Carpenters put up walls. Bricklayers, electricians, plumbers, and painters do their part. Through brilliantly simple words and pictures a house is built. "You can almost do it yourself by carefully noting the steps depicted in each bright, brisk, clearly delineated picture . . . With independently interesting pictures and a definite, sunny personality, a very fine piece of work indeed."— Kirkus Reviews Named a Notable Book for Children by the American Library Association

Review: Book - Great book for little ones - I used in my classroom during a unit on Communities.
Review: One of my favorites - I loved this book as a kid, and love reading it to my kids now as an adult. Like a precursor to the basics of construction. Although the electrical wires look like a snake. Felt the same way when I was 3 as I do now at 33. Lol

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Construction story for young readers
*by R***A on March 13, 2017*

My students really liked this one - read it several times while we were studying "builders" as our Community Heloer for the month if February. Not a lot of text per page (a good thing) and after reading it only a couple of times, they were able to help me read by filling in words based on the pictures. This is a good book to show kids how a house is built for a family - maybe s good book to get if you're building your own home!
