The House Book

by Keith DuQuette

The House Book is a great children's book about architecture.  It is a very simple, rhyming book about the different parts of a house.  From floors and doors to ceilings and windows, it explains the different roles played by the pieces of a house.  The book is pretty short and children will be able to read it for themselves.  Because it is so simple in explaining some basics of architecture it is a good introduction book for teaching children about the building process.  The illustrations and beautiful and the last page of the book is very sweet and true about houses.
