* Another how-things-work-winner, this title combines live-action
footage, nifty time-lapse photography, and computer aniamtion
to bring the wonder of construction home to children in a
concise, easy-to-understand package. "House Construction"
also does a good job of teaching such related terms as architecure,
lumberyard, plumbing, roofing, etc."

* House Construction combines time-lapse photography, computer
animation, and a sleight-of-hand host to offer a solid understanding
of how houses are built. Highly recommended.

"House Construction Ages 5-11... Particulary noteworthy
is the skillful editing of the house-framing section, glimpsed
briefly with each phase and then revealed in detail."

"House Construction Videocasette. Color, 28 min. with
teacher's guide. This video does an excellant job of showing
all phases of home construction... The attached parent and
teachers supplement provides additional clarification on building
terms used in the video... This will give children new insights
into the building process of thier own homes, and construction
in general."
