If I Built a House (If I Built Series)

Fun book! Kids love the series and enjoy this one

My children LOVE this book. The illustrations are creative, unique, and fun. The author uses rhyming to tell the story. It is a family favorite and I don't get bored reading it over and over again! Highly recommend this book!

Love this book. We bought it together with If You Built a School and both of them are awesome. My girl cannot put them down. Nice illustrations and ideas.

My kids love reading these, they are so creative and clever.

I love this book. This book will be one of the few impressionable things that will make up my son's childhood. I read this to him every night. We have a stack of children's books and I ask him to pick three books in the pile for me to read to him and he always pulls out a combination of three books that includes this book, or even "If I build a school" and "if I built a car."The illustrations are amazing and stoke the imagination and the words rhyme like a dr. seuss book which always keeps the engagement.Dear Author, you could write "if I built a train" or "if I built and airplane" or any other iteration and we would buy them. We already own all of them. Are you listening?

We love the entire If I Built A... series, and my son now has all three books in the collection. The creative storytelling keeps kids engaged, and helps them think about what they might do if they could build a dream house/car/school. The pictures are full of detail. It is a book that you can read over and over again.

I think all of Chris Van Dusen's books are amazing. I have a 4 year old and we love reading his books. This newest book, If I Built A House definitely does not disappoint. My son loved If I Built A Car, which is the first book about this same little boy, Jack, who has big ideas. I had high expectations with this new one and I actually think it's better than the original. My son is hugely into race cars and trampolines, both of which are featured in this new book. So, for him, this house is PERFECT. LOL. He keeps asking to read this over and over again. Right after reading it for the first time, my son grabbed his Legos so that he could work on building his dream home, as well. LOLHuge hit!!!I would recommend ANY and ALL of Chris Van Dusen's books to everyone. They are all amazing. But, If I Built A House is one of the best. The pictures are amazing and the story has a very nice flow. We love it.

My son and I have been having so much fun discussing the rooms we would have in OUR house after reading this book! It's a nightly conversation now and has been a great stepping stone to discussing imagination vs reality, design, and dreaming big. Really fun book.
