“If You Lived Here: Houses of the World”by Giles Laroche, Houghton Mifflin HarcourtPublishing Company, 2011. 32 pages.

——— BY PAT HANSEN

Your home is different from your grandpar-ent’s home, it’s different from your friends’homes, and it’s not like your cousin’s home. Buteven though all those homes are different fromeach other, they probably are quite a bit alike.They’re made of wood or brick. They’re squareor rectangular. They have several bedrooms, akitchen, living room and bathroom. Their roofsare shingled.

Some houses in this world, though, look ab-solutely nothing like the houses we’re used toaround here. For example, if you lived on ChiloeIsland in Chile you could fish right from yourbedroom window. Your house would be built onstilts to keep it safe from high tide. When thetide is high, you could hop onto a boat to visit afriend. When the tide is low you could walkaround on the sand below your house.

You might be surprised to learn that 45 mil-lion people live in caves in the world today. Inthe Sierra Nevada mountains of Spain, the frontof your house would be built of bricks, stucco,

and terra cotta tiles, right against the side of amountain. The rest of your house would be acave dug into the mountain. The mountains aremade of a soft rock called tufa. Rooms are easilycarved out of this rock which dries quicklywhen exposed to air. Your house would haveseveral rooms and actually be quite modern,comfortable, and bright! The tufa would keep

your house cool in the hot summer and fairlywarm in the winter.

Maybe you’d prefer to live in a yurt — you’dhave to move to Asia. A yurt looks somethinglike a big tent. It’s portable like a tent, too. Yourfamily could take apart the supporting woodenpoles and layers of felt in an hour; it’s light-weight enough that your horses or yaks couldcarry them to a new grazing ground. Your familywould then put the yurt up in a new place. Itmight even be subdivided inside into smallerliving spaces. Over half the people in Mongolialive in yurts.

Although this picture book is for ages 6 andup, it’s fascinating for adults, too. For theyounger reader, the cut paper illustrations arerich and detailed enough to tell their own story.For the older reader, the text information iswell-arranged, giving the what, where, when ofeach type of house, along with interesting tid-bits.

You might find this book inspires you to do alittle research on your own. I checked out cavehouses online and found a realtor’s page withbeautiful cave houses for sale in Spain — the in-terior pictures were great fun to see.

Find a comfy spot in your house to browsethis book — you’ll soon find yourself travelingfrom house to house.
