BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: MANY
The Village of Koh Panyee floats on stilts. A group of boys in that village loved football and were always dribbling balls on the wooden walkways to school, waiting in line, or doing chores, because there was no where to practice. They wanted to form a team and tried practicing on a secret beach in low tide. Soon houses were built there. While the neighbors scoffed and laughed, the boys sawed wood, hammered nails, and tied barrels together until they made a floating field. Would they ever be able to play against teams on the mainland?
I loved Building A Dream. What a great story, based on a true story, of overcoming challenges and making your dream come true. Phumidruk's illustrations wonderfully visualize the whole experience.
