Take a journey around the world to discover the homes of children just like you! Where in the world do children live in reed houses on floating islands? Where are the highest homes, in the city skyscrapers, or in the snowy mountains? Why are some houses in India painted blue, and why do some people in South Africa paint patterns on their homes? Find out in Homes Around the World! Children will love reading about the homes of their contemporaries in other countries; from underground homes and floating homes, to eco-homes, and the most unusual homes. Our world is full of amazing and different things. The Children Like Us series introduces children to people and places around the world. It shows them how different cultures live in unique ways and enables them to compare other people's lives with their own.
