"Come over to My House" is a 1966 children's book written by Dr. Seuss. (The name "Theo. LeSieg" was a pen name of Theodor Geisel, who is more commonly known by another pen name, Dr. Seuss.) The illustrations portray the various styles of homes that kids from around the world live in along with Seuss's recognizable verse. Throughout the book they also cover what kids eat, how they sleep (Japanese wooden pillows), play (sledding on pine needles), and even clean-up afterwards (Polynesian hot spring).

What child isn’t excited to experience how life is at another familes house. Different food, different activities, and in this book a very wide variety of homes and cultures are shown. A great book for introducing new cultures.

I still prefer the original illustrations, but I'm glad they've re-released this favorite of my family for a new generation to enjoy. ( )

A simple, story-poem for beginning readers in which a boy travels to different places around the world, learning about how children in other cultures live, and making many friends along the way. ( )

This book portrays different types of houses all around the world. I would use it when teaching students about different cultures and how they do things differently than in America.
