I had no interest in houses or buildings but the book held great fascination for me due to the incredible illustrations. So it will be for new generations of readers with Polly Faber and Klas Fahlen\u2019s \u2018Building a home\u2019. It is such a beautifully illustrated book with real design qualities that even children who are not interested in cranes or diggers will be fascinated. Those who do love cranes and diggers will be in raptures as the details of a large scale building project are explored with real authority. <\/span><\/p>\n<div data-hook=\"rcv-block10\"><\/div>\n<div data-hook=\"rcv-block11\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"viewer-cuobi\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">The lively illustrations are beautifully created and the small details such as the bird\u2019s nest on top of the crane and the mysterious cat (or is it a fox?) watching from afar, mean that multiple readings will reveal new things each time. The text also raises some smiles with the names that sometimes (but frustratingly not always!) rhyme with the jobs they are doing. Who wouldn\u2019t smile as \u2018Lei Wei and Amma saw and hammer\u2019 or watch as \u2018Maya runs wire\u2019!<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"viewer-7sn7l\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><\/div>\n<div data-hook=\"rcv-block13\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"viewer-areah\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">The book also has a glossary and a list of tools at the back which means teachers can use these to teach useful non-fiction reading skills and develop vocabulary. However, this is also a book to be read, enjoyed, talked about and shared by children from 4 to 7. I can see it becoming one of the favourite books during quiet reading and I daresay will be included on many children\u2019s present lists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-d7eso\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-hook=\"rcv-block15\"><\/div>\n<div data-hook=\"rcv-block16\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"viewer-7cal7\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">You can<a class=\"_3Bkfb _1lsz7\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3aE1IB1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-hook=\"linkViewer\"><u class=\"_3zM-5\"> order <em>Building a Home <\/em>online <\/u><\/a>or from your <a class=\"_3Bkfb _1lsz7\" href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/yyg9qgxc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-hook=\"linkViewer\"><u class=\"_3zM-5\">local bookshop. <\/u><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"viewer-98g8d\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-hook=\"rcv-block18\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"viewer-7fgdc\" class=\"_2vd5k JP7h-\">\n<div class=\"_17-_F _6Jo3V _6Jo3V _3vo3y +oWZB +oWZB\">\n<div class=\"_2kEVY\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-hook=\"imageViewer\">\n<div class=\"_3WJnn _2Ybje\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"OzAYt _3xs9_ alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.booksfortopics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_6304a965d4e1a.\" width=\"399\" height=\"499\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.booksfortopics.com\/post\/review-building-a-home\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/df731a_541e7b41fcff4cea8de5ba3330d28cba~mv2.jpg\/v1\/fit\/w_399%2Ch_499%2Cal_c%2Cq_80,enc_auto\/file.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-hook=\"rcv-block19\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"viewer-88cmk\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Also featured on our <a class=\"_3Bkfb _1lsz7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booksfortopics.com\/houses-and-homes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-hook=\"linkViewer\"><u class=\"_3zM-5\">Houses, Homes &amp;
