BUYING ADVISORY: Pre K - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

 "A House, where is the door? What color is it? Where is the window? What shape is it?". This beautiful point and respond book is all about making a house into a home. We see the house in the daytime, at night and in different seasons, but it's when a family is there that it's something more than shapes and sizes. 

Oh, this is a beautiful and simple book. Kevin Henkes illustrations are perfect, calm colors and predictable shapes and the text engages the child - my goodness, I was engaged. It's easy to point at the clouds, but you have to look again to see which is the smallest. I can see reading this again and again to a child just learning shapes and colors and words.
