BUILDING A HOUSE

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 ReviewsNamed a Notable Book for Children by the American Library Association
