How a House Is Built (New & Updated) by Gail Gibbons

Houses are built with many different materials, and in many shapes and sizes. 

Step by step, this picture book explains how homes are built--from the architect's plans through the arrival of a happy family.  The many processes of construction are explained with simple language and bright, clear illustrations, perfect for kids starting to wonder about how the world around them works.

Many different careers--including carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and landscapers--are introduced, each doing their part to bring the picture wood-frame house to life.  A great read for kids who love construction sites, or who can't get enough of Building a House by Byron Barton.
