Customer Reviews

Excellent book for ages 9-12

Contrary to the previous reviewer, I thought this book was excellent. The audience is upper-elementary to middle school, not preschool (recommended ages 9-12). It brings in architectural theory as well as the history of the buildings. The book was written post-9-11, so there is discussion of the WTC tragedy. Excellent read, with deeper information than most. My children were captivated.
