Let's Build a House:
A book about buildings and materials.
Let's Build a House! But what sort of a house should it be? And what do we
need
to build it? It could be a shack on a
beach, or it could be a skyscraper. Try building a bungalow or even a castle! Join in the imaginative
play as a group of
children plan their houses and discover the materials and techniques needed to build them.
