If I Built a House

A young boy imagines the house he would build if he could design it himself, using a playful, rhyming tour to present his ideas. He shares his dream home with his mother, who reacts with wonder and curiosity as the rooms get more inventive.

The imagined house grows increasingly fantastical as the boy adds unusual rooms, gadgets, and features, mixing everyday domestic spaces with high-energy, science-fiction-style inventions. The narrative moves from one idea to the next like a guided tour through an ever-expanding blueprint of creativity.

The book emphasizes the joy of inventing, building, and thinking beyond ordinary limits. The illustrations and text work together to make the fantasy house feel vivid, playful, and ready to be explored aloud and discussed.
