Have you ever
wondered where the doors, stone, brick, windows, and roof tiles in your house
originally came from? This beautiful
picture book investigates the beginnings of many materials used to build a
house. “The roof was once rock, carved
and cleft and shingled to shelter.”
“These bricks were once mud that oozed around root, sticky and loose
before formed and baked hard.” The story ends with the house itself remembering
the events that occurred within its walls.
The illustrations are beautiful!
The story is sweet and simple. This would make a perfect housewarming
gift for someone special.
Pre-K. EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: SL.
