I received an electronic ARC from Familius through NetGalley.
Saben takes readers through the home building process through the eyes of children. We see them describe what is happening in one sentence for each idea. The artwork is drawn as if the child created it to tell the story of their family's move. The questions at the end challenge readers to look back through the book and find the items. They also ask readers to think about the home they would build. A fun read for younger readers. Perfect for families who are moving.

A quirky illustration style and great topic, I enjoyed the use of rhyme throughout. I had not expected half the storyline to be on physically building/renovating a home whilst the children just waited. Some entertaining search and find elements and questions for those reading to engage with at the end really add to the book!

'New House, New Home' fits the bill for helping children acclimate to the dramatic change of moving into a new home. The pastel hued, welcoming illustrations bring some exploration into the process of creating a new home in all of its complexities. There's so much fun to have when entering a new space and I think that this book will allow kids a better chance at doing so in a positive light.

I was a preschool teacher for five years, and I wish I had this book of Megan Sabens. She wrote the most beautiful words and created such a darling childresns book! It was adorable. My four kids and I cherished every minute of it. Well done!

We get a view of a new house being built and the long wait for completion, as understood by a child. The book has colorful and fun illustrations. It also comes along with a 'look and find' activity list that would be fun to do on rereads as well as questions to discuss with your child.

I received an ARC of this children's book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book is so adorable. The pictures are really cute and so is the story!

What a fantastic book for children about the process of building a new home.

It takes children through step by step with short, easy to read phrases. So it is a wonderful storybook with fun pictures, but helps explain what is happening.

Moving, and especially building a new house can be such an abstract idea for young children, especially if they can only remember having one home. This book would be a great tool for families going through this process with young children!

Thank you to NetGalley and Familius for allowing me to read and review this book.

Such a wonderful book exploring building a house through the eyes of a child. Love that it touches base on the timeline. Adorable illustrations. Love the look and find at the end as well as the exploratory questions to encourage children in designing their own home.
