Louise Builds a House tells the tale of a girl who builds the house of her dreams. From inside and out we see the house come together at the turn of each page. I think Pfanner does a great job with her illustrations in that on one page it shows her working on the inside of the house and the other page shows the progress coming along from the outside. As I stated in my previously in my review of “Louise Builds a Boat” I really like the way Pfanner illustrates her stories with simple lines and colors, but still shows intricate details.cc ( )

Louise is a girl who decides to build a house and every page has a new addition to her wonderful home. In the end she gives the house to her sister, which seems a little silly. The reader can learn from this that giving is a wonderful thing to do. ( )

Louise builds a fantastic house. The process is more important than the final product. ( )
