Casa dolce casa!

Would you like to live on a pile dwelling in the middle of a lake? Or in a cave dug under the desert sands? This book introduces young readers to ten unusual and surprising types of dwellings typical of as many countries around the world-from Cambodia to Mongolia, from the Netherlands to the United States. Children will discover how a treehouse is organized, how an igloo is built, what you can see from the top floor of a skyscraper, and what life is like inside a house that is also a fully functioning windmill.

Two spectacular window pages allow them to see if living in an ancient castle is as exciting as it sounds, or if they prefer instead to be lulled by the waves in their floating abode. Signe Torp’s eye-catching and detailed illustrations are a delightful celebration of cultural diversity-a perfect book for discovering how the peoples of the world live.
