“Home Construction” by Anne Blanchard, illustrated by Didier Balicevic, is an Ultimate Spotlight book, showcasing interactive flaps, pull-tabs, and other interesting options for understanding construction work and how it all comes about. From preparing the building site to beginning the build, installing the interior, landscaping, and more, there are clear, colorful, useful illustrations that show every step of the process. Any young reader, and older readers too, will learn something new as they pore over the pages and find words in bold to discover definitions of who or what these people and items are and what they do. It’s interesting to flip the flaps and see the “behind the scenes” looks into how construction is really done and what it truly takes to build a home. Readers who have new homes going up in their subdivisions or nearby will look at these sites much differently after reviewing the pages of this book and seeing the steps necessary to make it all possible.
