Larry is back—and this time, he’s building something big!

In Larry Builds a New House, everyone’s favorite golden Labrador discovers what it really takes to turn boards and nails into a home filled with love. With wagging tail, curious eyes, and a heart eager to help, Larry follows his family through the busy adventure of building their new home. From the first hammer swing to the very last nail, Larry is right there—cheering, learning, and discovering that home is much more than walls and a roof.

Children will laugh as Larry proudly drags sticks, carries boards, and sometimes makes a few silly mistakes (like tipping over a bucket of nails or getting tangled in straps!). They’ll smile as he finds his place, not as the builder, but as the faithful friend who makes everyone’s work a little lighter and a lot more joyful. And they’ll feel the warmth when Larry finally explores the finished house, rolling on rugs, sniffing in the kitchen, and curling up in his very own cozy corner.
