Caldecott Medalist and #1 New York Times–bestselling author and artist Kevin Henkes explores what it means to be at home in this stunning picture book. Brimming with interactive, call-and-response questions, A House is a timeless and irresistible must-have for both very young children and emergent readers—as well as the entire family.

Where is the door to the house? Do you see any clouds? What does the house look like when it is sunny outside? When it is raining? And what will the house turn into when its family returns? A home.

Kevin Henkes employs interactive questions, declarative sentences, basic shapes, and a limited color palette in this brilliant and classic picture book. A House introduces young readers to shapes, numbers, the weather, and the parts of a house with a rhythmic, repetitive text and remarkable illustrations. A story about home, family, community, and belonging, A House is an excellent choice for emergent readers, for social and emotional development, and for storytime sharing.

Abigail ★★★★★

The wait for this one was worth it—the interactive call-and-response format makes my three-year-old literally shout back at the pages, and the Caldecott-level artwork is the kind you’ll find yourself staring at after bedtime. It’s a rare picture book that feels both like a game and a quiet meditatio

Lily ★★★★★

The call-and-response rhythm kept my kids guessing what came next on every page, and the illustrations have that soft, cozy feel that makes bedtime reading easy. We've read it three nights in a row and they still shout out the answers before I turn the page.

George S. ★★★★★

My three-year-old immediately started chanting the "call-and-response" lines back to me before we'd even finished the first read-through. The pacing is perfect for that age—it feels more like a game than a story, and the artwork is as warm and inviting as the book's theme of home.
