Changes, Changes

Pat Hutchins's classic wordless picture book, "Changes, Changes," invites young readers aged 3-7 to follow a delightful wooden couple as they encounter various challenges and ingeniously transform their building blocks to create solutions. From a house that catches fire to a resulting flood, the couple works together to rebuild their environment into a fire engine, a boat, and other imaginative structures. This book is a wonderful tool for fostering creativity, problem-solving skills, and resilience, as it visually demonstrates adaptation and teamwork without a single word. It encourages children to interpret the story, discuss the changes, and imagine their own solutions.

A charming, wordless picture book that the very youngest can “read” all by themselves. The little wooden couple are happy in their building-block house—until it catches fire. The solution? They transform the house into a fire engine! But then there’s so much water that they have to build a boat… Follow these inventive dolls as they use their imagination to adapt to each situation they encounter.
