Customer Reviews

Clever kids book.

As an architect, I enjoy giving these books as gifts because they are different from your run of the mill children's books. I like how they use building pieces to teach about basic shapes and colors. It is not a book that highlights popular or historic architecture - its more about the components. I like the prose in this book in particular. Cute poems.

A pair.

Along with Crosbie's Architecture, Colors, this is a cleverly conceived book very well executed. Good for very young toddlers, still enjoyed by my 3-year-old grandson.

A fun book

I've been reading this book to my son since he was about 9 months. It's a great alternative to some of the more conventional books about animals. The rhymes are pleasant and encourages participation by the child as he learns to talk.
