With its bold, simple art and sturdy flaps, it's an ideal choice for little hands and developing minds aged 1 to 3.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a gentle, straightforward concept book and is a safe choice for all families.
Ideal Reader
A toddler (18 to 36 months) who is just beginning to understand the concept of "home" and is developing object permanence. Also excellent for a child in the "what's that?" and "where?" stage of language development who enjoys interactive, hands-on reading experiences.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed; the book can be read cold. The flaps are sturdy, but a parent might want to gently guide a very young child's hands on the first read-through to model how to lift them without tearing. A parent's child has started pointing out different houses on walks or in pictures and asking "who lives there?" or simply "house!". The parent is looking for a simple, durable book to explore this new interest and build vocabulary.
