Wonderful Houses Around the World is the children's version of Komatsu's amazing book Built by Hand. It features beautiful photographs and full-color, detailed illustrations of indigenous dwellings, and the people who live in them, from ten countries. The text is written for young children (ages four to eight, according to the publisher). It's hard to imagine a better introduction to the variety of traditional house styles, and the quality of the photos ensures that adults won't tire of looking through this book either.
