Bookroo's summary

Experience the magic of construction as a house comes to life. From digging the foundation to painting the walls, each step is vividly illustrated. Follow the journey of machines and skilled workers as they transform raw materials into a home. What surprises await as the structure takes shape?

From the publisher

Byron Barton, the celebrated creator of numerous picture books for very young children, including Trucks, My Bus, and My Car, builds a house, step by step, right before your eyes!

A machine digs a big hole. A cement mixer pours cement. Carpenters put up walls. Bricklayers, electricians, plumbers, and painters do their part. Through brilliantly simple words and pictures a house is built.
