A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
Winner of the 2013 Boston Globe Horn Book Award for Best Picture Book
A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2013
A New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book of 2013

In this unique construction book for kids who love tools and trucks, readers join a girl and her family as they pack up their old house in town and set out to build a new one in the country. Mom and Dad are going to make the new house themselves, from the ground up. From empty lot to finished home, every stage of their year-and-a-half-long building project is here. And at every step their lucky kids are watching and getting their hands dirty, in page after page brimming with machines, vehicles, and all kinds of house-making activities

As he imagines it through the eyes of his older sister, Building Our House is Jonathan Bean's retelling of his own family's true experience, and includes an afterword with photographs from the author's collection.

Keeps shape whether holding hot soup or hot casserole
I have used these bowls daily for several months, and they are consistently good quality. They stand up to hot soup or hot casserole without degrading during use. I have even reheated in the microwave. When you must use disposables, these are great.

Great all around bowls especially for a cat food bowl.
Kitty food bowl liners (20 ounce size). I use cereal bowls for cat food, as find the tiny pet bowls fairly useless for grown cats - they get pushed around, and slopped over. But the kitties walk away from their food and come back, so of course it gets all gummy. Using these as food bowl liners keeps everything fresh and u are not scraping crust off the dishes all the time. Of course I grab them too for my own snacks. I used to get bowls at grocery and would get twitchy when I ran out, and get real irritated when all that was available was plastic bowls. These are just a great all around product and bulk buying is so convenient; plus even the pattern is soothing and attractive. Not sure the cats care but they might.

Good value
I like that I can buy these in large quantities. Get a little soft with liquids after sitting for a while. There’s sturdier bowls on the market but these work well for the price.

Will buy again.
I've already bought these twice. The first batch, bottom bowl had a slice in it, like someone had cut it while opening the box, but I didn't use a knife to open them, so it had to have been part of a bigger box. Anyway, it was just the one, the very last bowl. That was a surprise with my cereal, lol.
