Reviews
* "This extraordinary new picture book masterfully tackles the complex task of contextualizing seemingly complex architectural concepts within a child's own world of play." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "Deftly rendered." -- The Horn Book , starred review "Combining images of preschoolers at play with famous buildings all over the world, this lively picture book is great for sharing. . . . Older children will turn to the detailed back matter that talks about each building and its architect, and a great quote from Frank Gehry sums up the connections: Creativity is about play." -- Booklist "A clever introduction to architecture. . . . The poems are printed in large font and are typeset to complement the shape of the architecture pictured. They are age appropriate and well crafted." -- School Library Journal ALSC Notable Children's Books - American Library Association (ALA) Best Children's Books of the Year - Bank Street College of Education Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards Winner - The Horn Book California Book Awards - Commonwealth Club Children's Book Award - International Literacy Association (ILA) Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy Silver Bells - Colorado State Library Eureka!
