I am a 4's teacher and to be fair， my class seemed to really enjoy this book。 I， on the other hand， was disappointed。 It almost felt like Mr。 Jeffers has begun to rely too much on his deservedly established reputation and less on the imagination that made earlier works like "Lost and Found" so special。 I hate to say he dialed it in here but that was my takeaway。 I am a 4's teacher and to be fair， my class seemed to really enjoy this book。 I， on the other hand， was disappointed。 It almost felt like Mr。 Jeffers has begun to rely too much on his deservedly established reputation and less on the imagination that made earlier works like "Lost and Found" so special。 I hate to say he dialed it in here but that was my takeaway。 。。。more

I’m not sure of the audience， probably more for adults but also for them to read aloud with the young child in their live。 I noticed a statement on the CIP page about the privilege of planning for a future。 Love this acknowledgement。

A father and daughter talk about what they will build together both tangible and intangible。 （door， house， love， future）。 Pretty high concepts for kids。

Oliver Jeffers never disappoints。 I didn’t love this one as much as his previous book Here We Are， but it contains similar depth to the story with simple lines and unique illustrations。 My favorite line - “Let’s build a door where there was none。” Love reading these with my kids even though they think they’re too old for picture books。 We’re never too old for picture books。

This book is a real treasure。I haven't found a book by Oliver Jeffers that I haven't loved so far。 He has a natural gift to writing children's books， the convey such sweet， touching and heartfelt messages in just a few words and sentences。 The illustrations are dreamy and delicious and make the book so endearing， each page turn is a beautiful surprise。 This is the best dedication a father could make for his daughter。 This book is a real treasure。I haven't found a book by Oliver Jeffers that I haven't loved so far。 He has a natural gift to writing children's books， the convey such sweet， touching and heartfelt messages in just a few words and sentences。 The illustrations are dreamy and delicious and make the book so endearing， each page turn is a beautiful surprise。 This is the best dedication a father could make for his daughter。 。。。more

“¿Qué construiremos tú y yo？” es la pregunta que un padre hace a su hija， la que Jeffers responde con el lenguaje simple y poético de siempre。 Un libro hermoso y esperanzador para planear "nuestro futuro juntos。" “¿Qué construiremos tú y yo？” es la pregunta que un padre hace a su hija， la que Jeffers responde con el lenguaje simple y poético de siempre。 Un libro hermoso y esperanzador para planear "nuestro futuro juntos。" 。。。more

I like the text and its flow。 I want to read it for storytime， but I hesitate because of the whiteness on the first and last page。 I know the characters are based on the author and his daughter but， in this day and age， it feels sad not to have POC represented in the characters sharing their dreams， inventiveness， and "plans for our together future。" I like the text and its flow。 I want to read it for storytime， but I hesitate because of the whiteness on the first and last page。 I know the characters are based on the author and his daughter but， in this day and age， it feels sad not to have POC represented in the characters sharing their dreams， inventiveness， and "plans for our together future。" 。。。more

This book consists of a daughter and father building a building together。 Not exactly a building， but a future as well。 Through the book， the daughter and dad share a strong bond by building。 They talk about building things that are not even man-made。 They share constant thoughts of what they could build。 This book has illustrations as well so readers can see their exact thoughts。

Beautifully illustrated and designed story about building the future。 A great way to introduce a design technology and engineering day across the whole school！

A father and daughter talk about all the things that they will build in their lifetime: from physical things to memories to love。An absolute heartwarming story that would be great for parents to read aloud to their children。

This sweet picture book was inspired by the birth of the author’s daughter。 It’s a fantastical picture book about the hopes and dreams he has for the time they’ll spend together one day。 💕For more children's literature， middle grade literature， and YA literature reviews， feel free to visit my personal blog at The Miller Memo！！ This sweet picture book was inspired by the birth of the author’s daughter。 It’s a fantastical picture book about the hopes and dreams he has for the time they’ll spend together one day。 💕For more children's literature， middle grade literature， and YA literature reviews， feel free to visit my personal blog at The Miller Memo！！ 。。。more

Loved: beautiful and detailed illustrations; messaging of working together， building toward a shared future。 I think kids will love to spend time spotting new objects in the illustrations。 Disliked: I guess I get why a doctor might be included alongside scary things like actual monsters， but it felt incredibly irresponsible here。 The spread about building a fortress and high wall to keep enemies out also didn't work well， considering how it can and will be interpreted。 At times， the language fel Loved: beautiful and detailed illustrations; messaging of working together， building toward a shared future。 I think kids will love to spend time spotting new objects in the illustrations。 Disliked: I guess I get why a doctor might be included alongside scary things like actual monsters， but it felt incredibly irresponsible here。 The spread about building a fortress and high wall to keep enemies out also didn't work well， considering how it can and will be interpreted。 At times， the language felt stilted and off， and I can foresee where that might make it weird to read aloud。 。。。more

This book is filled with such hope of what we can build: tables for others， conversations and apologies， gatherings and connections around a campfire。 It’ll make you ache for the pre-pandemic world where everything was easy， but makes you want to still strive to just try and reach out。 Those hands on the first and last pages， together， oh what beauty and simple hope。

I've always gotten excited when I hear that Oliver Jeffers has a new book coming out。 His words feel personal， carrying an emotional element， and those gorgeous illustrations， you get hooked on his books。 The illustrations inside this book did not disappoint。 Each page was lit with bright colors， capturing various unique ideas， and showcasing his wonderful imagination。 I was disappointed in the text though。 At the beginning of the book， a father and his daughter gather their tools as they build I've always gotten excited when I hear that Oliver Jeffers has a new book coming out。 His words feel personal， carrying an emotional element， and those gorgeous illustrations， you get hooked on his books。 The illustrations inside this book did not disappoint。 Each page was lit with bright colors， capturing various unique ideas， and showcasing his wonderful imagination。 I was disappointed in the text though。 At the beginning of the book， a father and his daughter gather their tools as they build a door together。 Entering the door， they begin their journey。 A magical journey that the two of them will share as they begin their life together， father and daughter。 I liked the idea behind the book; a father-daughter relationship and the journey that they’ll take through the years。 Jeffers pulls at our heart， this journey leads them into dangerous and mysterious situations but the knowledge that they’re together looking out for one another， brings us comfort and tears， as we feel their love for one another。 There were a few things that didn’t work for me， in this book。 Some of the rhymes didn’t work for me。 I felt I had to force them， to make them work。 I also wasn’t a fan of some of the ideas that were used in the book。 They seemed like they were geared more for adults instead of something a growing child would come up with and would like。 A tunnel to the moon vs。 a rocket ship to the moon， cruise ship vs。 a submarine， but that’s just my opinion。 This wasn’t one of my favorite Jeffers’ book but I’m looking forward to his next one。 3。5 stars 。。。more

This was cute， and I'm a huge fan of Jeffers' illustrations。 However， when they build a fortress and wall to keep their enemies out （already have a problem with it being a wall） and the enemies include a witch， a viking， a pirate， and a doctor with a needle I'm left wondering if he's an anti-vaxxer or what？ I don't like that spread/storyline at all。 This was cute， and I'm a huge fan of Jeffers' illustrations。 However， when they build a fortress and wall to keep their enemies out （already have a problem with it being a wall） and the enemies include a witch， a viking， a pirate， and a doctor with a needle I'm left wondering if he's an anti-vaxxer or what？ I don't like that spread/storyline at all。 。。。more
