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. . . .
