Homes Keep Us Warm

Children's Literature - Children's Literature

Children will enjoy this wonderful introduction to the variety of homes that exist around the world. Homes may be the joint effort of architects, carpenters, electricians and plumbers, or a project of a family, but it all cases homes represents a sense of family coziness. Children will marvel at the fact that other children around the world live in homes quite different from theirs such as the animal skin tents of some Inuits. They will see the floating homes and homes made of baked mud like the adobe homes in New Mexico and the mud homes in Africa and more.
