If I Built a School (If I Built Series)

We love this series. The writing and design are absolutely amazing! My 5 year old loves them. They are good for all ages as they promote imagination and can spark a lot of good conversations on how would we built a school, house or car. I hope they add more books. So far we have all three. If I built a school, If I built a house, If I built a car. 10 stars!!!

I love all books written or illustrated by this author. I read this to students every year and then let them create a room they would add to our school and their ideas are so fun. I have the other titles in this series butt his one is a classroom favorite.

I asked the students to illustrate their dream school while they waited to check out books. After check out, I read aloud this story to oooooohs and ahhhhs! So fun, bright illustrations, encourages creativity and expands possibilities. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great book for my toddler grandson

Great fun book for young kids , just like the other 2 in this series

It’s no secret that we LOVE Chris Van Dusen around here! In fact, we love him so much that I pre-ordered If I Built a School the day I heard it was being published, and I try really, really hard not to buy books until I’ve seen them in person. But, I believed it wouldn’t disappoint, and I was right!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Our copy of If I Built a School arrived yesterday, and we’ve read it at least 11 times already. We read it twice just this morning over breakfast, and followed it with If I Built a House just to round it out. The girls then asked for big pieces of paper to design their own schools and houses, so I happily obliged!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀In typical Chris Van Dusen fashion, If I Built a School is terrifically written to read aloud. The rhythm and rhyme are perfect, and just like the other two books in his “If I Built…” series (house and car), they’re full of imagination and fun.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And yes, Mr. Magee and his little dog Dee are hiding in these illustrations… My younger was the first to spot them!

my kid loves reading this book!

Ordered this book for Mystery Reader for my son's kindergarten class and it went over great! Teacher and the kids loved it!Must have for the classroom or just an all around fun read for buulding the imagination at home.

Divertido y con ilustraciones muy padres. Ideal para el regreso a clases.

My child loves this book....Great pictures too.

The illustrations are amazing and the writing is top notch. Not only our kids love this book, we as parents enjoy reading it!

I love these books. They are a great writing prompt for students and also can be used for STEM prompts as well. So imaginative. Illustrations are dynamite! One of my favourite series of books to teach with.

Love these books! My kiddos and my kindergarten students do too. The creativity, use of rhyme, and art all make Chris Van Dusen my favourite children's author.
