This is creatively made and fun for parents to read. I imagine some kids that really like building may enjoy this book. There are some words that seem a little complex for the intended age range, like dormers, pinnacles, and brackets.

I got this book at the library for my baby. I love it! I think the unique vocabulary and photography is quite nice. I hope my baby likes it too.
