Review

Cartoon drawings accompany photographs of strange dwellings around the world. Readers will learn about a crooked house, a dancing house, rock houses, a huge tree house, a dog-shaped house and more. While there is not a lot to learn, it will be fun to look at the photographs and think about what it would be like to live in such a dwelling. The tone of the text is lighthearted and almost jokey in some places. This book could give children food for thought about designing fantastical places where they would like to live. Other titles in the series are Bizarre Vehicles, Strange Foods, Wacky Sports, Odd Medical Cures and WEird Jobs. Not necessary purchases, but books kids which kids would probably have fun perusing.

Overall Book Score: good
