Building A House by Byron Barton
Rating: 4.5 stars
This is one of those let's-connect-it-to-real-life books for us. There's a house that's being built down the road, and we like to drive by slooooooooooooowly to check out what's being done. Since this was one of the first books we checked out at the library many months ago, Lorelei had a good idea of what was happening each time we drove by.
A big machine digs a hole. Check! Concrete is poured in. Check! Builders hammer and saw. Check! A cement mixer pours cement! Check.
You get the idea. I'm tempted to stop by the construction site and have a picnic to let the kids watch, but I'm not bold enough. Yet. Maybe when Ben is old enough to realize the words "Be careful!"
A simple book, and one that provides the foundation for knowing how a house is built. Three cheers for the simplicity of Byron Barton!
