Wonderful Houses Around the World

<< Prev page |
Yoshio Komatsu
Illustrated by Akira Nishiyama
In this illustrated and photographic journey around the world, readers are taken from the yurts of Mongolia to the acorn-shaped houses in Bolivia. The author shows a photo of the actual house, usually with the family standing outside, while a brief paragraph describes the home and a recollection from the author's visit. The second page has a detailed illustration of the inside workings of the home.
In the ''tulou'' of China, residents live in circular, four-story buildings with about 200 small rooms. In Tunisia, where temperatures reach 120 degrees, homes are built underground. The house in the center of a village in Senegal has its roof hung upside-down in order to catch rainwater. This intriguing little book is sure to become a conversation starter about world cultures.
