The world is full of houses. Big houses and little houses. Houses that stay in one place and houses that move from place to place. Some houses are made of wood or stone; others are made from mud or straw. But all of them are made for families to live in.
A striking photographic survey of housing around the world that will be a real eyeopener for many children. The lush, full-color photos, tell the real story, conveying nearly as much about those who live in the homes as they do about the dwellings themselves. Rather than describing the houses, the spare text groups the photos. "Build your house with . . . wood or stone or straw or mud or anything at all. Weave it, nail it, tie it with rope.'' There is an index, which is comprised of a miniature of each photo, an identification of the country in which it was taken, and a brief description. A black-and-white map is appended with each location clearly labeled.
