A senior editor at Progressive Architecture and an award-winning architectural photographer come together to present four colorful board books that introduce the built environment to preschoolers.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I give this book to new parents all the time. I love the use of architectural elements. Its great for the adults reading it as well. Of course, I am an architect so my perspective may be skewed a bit. And the children of all of my architectural colleagues seem to enjoy it!
Bringing architecture to kids

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.
Well done!

The children's heavy cardboard book demonstrates a wonderful idea well executed. My grandson at 3 loves it!
An elegant board book.

This small cardboard book features photographs of buildings and architectural details. The photographs are beautiful - curious subjects in luminescent hues; there is no text other than the names of the colors. If you are a parent bored to tears with green frogs and red balloons, this book is a lifesaver. It is not clear to me what aspect of this book interests my two year old son, but it has been among his top ten for the past four months
