(2) K-3 The boy from Building Our House welcomes readers back into his home--and school. Our narrator--the author/illustrator's stand-in--gives a whirlwind tour of homeschooling life, and the warmhearted, cheerfully cluttered illustrations show how home and school alternate and merge. Text and illustrations play off each other to develop meaning and humor. An appended note includes family photographs and further entertaining details about Bean's own homeschooling experience.
