Cómo Se Construye Una Casa

Description

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.

About the Author

From gailgibbons.com: I was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1944. Even as a little child, I was always busy putting books together. Sometimes I would bind them with yarn to hold the pages together. I've always loved drawing and painting. I was also a very curious child. My parents tell me that I was always asking lots and lots of questions.Later, I went on to the University of Illinois, where I studied graphic design. Then I moved to New York City, where I got a job doing artwork for television shows. Eventually I was asked to do the artwork for a children's show. While doing that show, some of the children asked me if I had ever thought of doing children's books. My mind immediately recalled how much I enjoyed doing that type of thing when I was a child. So I put an idea for a book together and right away a publisher bought it. That book was called Willy and His Wheel Wagon. Since then, over 170 books that I have written and illustrated have been published. The type of books I write are non-fiction books. This is because I love researching so much. I get to ask lots of questions, just like when I was a kid. I also get to travel and meet lots of interesting people. While doing research for my book Nature's Green Umbrella: Tropical Rain Forests, I traveled to two islands where there are tropical rain forests, Saba and Dominica. I also had a great time writing and illustrating the book. I get a lot of pleasure from doing the type of work I do.
