Wonderful houses, wonderful book Edie Tsong The book is one part David mcCaulay, one part Richard Scarry, though of domestic scenes around the world. The clear, detailed, and playful illustrations show a house (opened up to reveal interior) and yard and the daily activity happening within the space. It's so fun for my daughter to look for the children in the pictures and count all the other people. I appreciate the glimpses into the very different ordinary lives from around the world. my partner enjoys seeing the construction of the different houses.
He has travelled extensively around the world for 25 years, photographing hand-built homes. Photos from Mongolia, China,, Indonesia, India, Romania, Tunisia, Spain, Togo, Senegal, and Bolivia. There has never been a photographer of buildings like Yoshio Komatsu. Each structure is beautifully photographed, and then colorfully rendered in pen and wash, with many descriptive captions explaining the everyday life of children and families in these homes.. A picture is worth a thousand words; the 10 photos in this book, along with the accompanying descriptive detailed drawings, make this a very informative book for children
