Building the perfect house takes work, and it can't be done alone! This newly translated edition of a Gail Gibbons classic introduces Spanish language readers to the ins and outs of how homes are built. Step by step, learn how a house is built--from the architect's plans to digging the foundation to constructing the walls. Finally, a happy family moves in. Young readers can learn about the many different types of workers who do their part in bringing a house to life, including carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and landscapers. Following along with the simple Spanish vocabluary and bright, clear illustrations, it is easy to see that construction sites are more than what they seem. Gail Gibbons' books are the perfect read for children who are curious about how the world works, and Como se construye una casa ( How A House is Built) is no exception. This book includes up-to-date facts about sustainability efforts and construction safety. A "fun facts" section can be found on the final page.
