APPEALS TO: MANY
There are many parts to building a house. First, land is purchased and excavated. Then, there is the foundation, framing, drywalling, bricking, etc, that makes the structure of the house. There is also work done by electricians, plumbers, tilers, flooring installers, etc, that make the house beautiful and comfortable. And, lastly, there are landscapers who work to create a beautiful yard.
Blanchard writes clearly, with vocabulary words in bold type. Balicevic stole the show with adorable illustrations, pull tabs, doors, and rotating illustrations. The book was made to endure with its heavy cardboard.
Many different persons of color were used in the illustrations.
