2-0 out of 5 stars Building a House
I have no complaints about the book itself. The colors are vibrant and it is fun. However, there isn't enough text. When I bought this I at least exspected a paragraph every page or so. This is a picture book with a few words. I would not have purchased it for my children (Middle Elementary age) had I know that one fact. Great for preschool aged children. Stacey

5-0 out of 5 stars Building a house 101 for preschoolers
Byron Barton gets another A+ in my book for clear, simple pictures and text. This book is geared for the toddler/preschooler crowd with its primary colors and constuction basics. It would be a great book for anyone in the process of building a house or watching houses being built in their neighborhood.

My 2 year old sons are really starting to associate the similarities between this book and some of the construction sites we visit. While Barton's pictures are simple, there is enough detail to expand beyond the written text. For example, on the page with words "They put up walls.", we are able to find the windows, the floor and foundation. On the page with the plumber, they like to point out the future shower, toilet, and sink. (And of course, being 2, they like to expand on the functions of the staples of every bathroom!)

Our only complaint is that the finished house needs a little decorator's touch. After all, it is totally green and red with no landscaping whatsoever! Even my guys noticed there are no trees. But overall a great book for all our future builders.

4-0 out of 5 stars Perfect for young children
Simple factual text and brightly colored pictures in clear black outlines all combine to make this a book that should be fascinating to toddlers. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Worth the effort.
I am having fun building this castle with my son! He actually seems to be enjoying spending time with me away from the computer!

5-0 out of 5 stars This was great to put together!
Wow! This was a real fun thing to do! If you like to take your time doing things. This is mainly for 1 person, but you could do it with the whole family! A real drawbridge, flags, and a lot of little people to play in the castle. It was so fun.

5-0 out of 5 stars Lots of eras sensibly combined
Basically a giant keep with walls and towers forming a square, this combines towers and features from all over the early stages of castle building, including partial hordings (castles do have their own jargon). And the drawbridge works! If you want to keep this one around or move it much, glue the groundplates to cardboard or matboard. ... Read more

Theaters stage many types of shows, including plays, operas, ballets, and musicals.

This book reveals what goes on backstage at a typical large theater. Use the fold-out sections to view the building, room by room, discovering where you might see a cyclorama, who would use the green room, and what happens in the fly gallery. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A first-hand look at ancient egyptian architecture . . .
Be prepared for hours of cutting and folding the intricate pieces of this wonderful temple. My son is 13 and fairly precise in his work, and it was quite difficult for him to assemble this project without help. Not that helping is a bad thing, though. We spent a great deal of time talking about the architecture, what materials would have been used, how large structures would have been raised, and what the cut-out figures were doing (some of them are very small). Absolutely necessary tools: flexible metal ruler, bone folder, thin-bladed scissors, Tacky glue. ... Read more

Book Description

The Plains Indians built their houses with the only materials they had: the skins of the buffalo they hunted or the soil dug from the earth around them. Homes grew larger and more varied with the arrival of the horse. The earthlodge, dating from AD 700, was larger than the tipi of buffalo hide. Both were laid out according to religious beliefs and symbols, as were arbors, burial platforms, sweatlodges, and the impressive structure for the Sun Dance. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book for art lovers!
I'm 13 and I love drawing. I have been a Bambi/Disney fan for quite a while, so I bought this book. In a few days, I could draw a excellent Bambi. Step-by-step pictures make it easy to learn to draw Bambi by using circles, ovals and other basic shapes. It covers the main characters like Bambi, Thumper, Friend Owl, Flower, and also includes secondary characters such as The Great Prince, Faline, and many of the little forest animals. In the front it has a few pages that tell about the movie. I would recommend this book anytime!

4-0 out of 5 stars Great book for fledgling artists.
Like the other "How to Draw" Disney books, this one gives you a great overview of the key characters in classic poses. The basic drawing tips are also useful for new artists. ... Read more
