Children’s Literary Houses: Famous Dwellings in Children’s Fiction

Recently, my kids are into buildings. When we drive places, they often ask me what style each building is, when it was built, etc. Well, I always tries to answer as much as I could but they just want to know more. The more I tell them, the more they want to know so one day I decided to get them some books that will answer their architectural questions. Let me share some of these books with you. This one is called Children's Literary Houses: Famous Dwellings in Children's Fiction. They picked this one out themselves because it is big and it has lots of interesting pictures of buildings.

The book measures 8.5x11.3x0.6 inches. It is a hardback book by Rosalind Ashe and Lisa Tuttle and researched by Talia Rodgers. It is published by Facts on File Publications and copyrighted Dragon's World Ltd in 1984. Almost every page has cute illustration either in color or in black and white. Below is the table of content of this Children's Literary Houses: Famous Dwellings in Children's Fiction so you know what they have in there. In each chapter, the children can learn the story of the classic tale as well as see the beautifully drawn or sketched pictures. Some chapters even have maps so you can put things in perspective, find out where the secret garden is, etc.

  • The Secret Garden
  • The Sword in the Stone
  • Little Women
  • Charlotte's Web
  • David Copperfield
  • Johnny Tremain

There is a lot of writing in this book so it is not for very young children. But they will enjoy looking at the pictures in the book so parents can read the stories to them if they like.
