  As part of a series designed to arouse children's curiosity in their immediate environment, this book encourages young readers to study homes in an active, critical way. It explains the building process and external details, showing different types of houses and accommodation from tower blocks to detached homes and narrow boats. The simple text is interspersed with questions and examples which may help children interpret what they see around them. Each book also includes a safety warning. The series is designed for primary school project work but can also be used by children on their own. Clive Pace and Jean Birch are both teachers and children's educational librarians. They are joint editors of Books in School and Bookfile .
