Beautiful Intro to Buildings Around the World
Dorothy W.
I'll start by saying my 4 year old struggles to care about buildings and architecture. It's just not his thing. However this book does a wonderful job pulling in even my child who is bored by the subject. The photos are stunningly beautiful and there are engaging questions and cute little quiz things on most pages to make it connect more with the reader. There is also a small globe on each page with a red circle highlighting where on the globe these buildings can be found. The book is a good conversation starter and we are happily adding it to our home library.

Even though it's a preschool book, we used this during our morning time as a family and learned so much as a family. Our 4 year old loved it, as well as our 6, 8 and 10 year old.

Great book
Aerie B.
My 3 year old uses this book and every time we open it my other kids all come join in. My older son has even learned from it. It has great pictures, involves the reader by asking a question about the building and my kids now point out buildings from the book when they see them on tv or when traveling and actually remember the names of them! So cool! We really loved this book.
