This book introduces children to ten amazing and unusual types of home. They can experience life high up in a tree house or cuddled up cosy in an igloo; find out what it’s like to live underground or in a noisy, working windmill. Two spectacular double gatefolds allow them to see whether having hundreds of rooms in a castle is as exciting as it sounds, or whether floating about on a canal is more their style.

Signe Torp’s engagingly detailed paintings incorporate paper ephemera, including maps and musical scores as collage. Bringing different types of houses to life for young children in a delightful celebration of cultural diversity, this is the perfect book for anyone looking for a creative way of exploring how other people live.

这本书向孩子们介绍了十种令人惊叹和不同寻常的房子。他们可以体验住在高高的树屋里的生活，或者在舒适的圆顶小冰屋里依偎在一起。看看住在地下或在嘈杂的，运转中的风车里是什么感觉。两张精美的折叠插页可以让他们看看城堡中有数百个房间是否和听起来一样令人兴奋，或者在运河上漂浮是否更符合他们的风格。

西格•托普（Signe Torp）的引人入胜的细腻画作融合了纸制的短时效用品，其中包括地图和乐谱形式的拼贴画。
