* "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 "A clever introduction to architecture... This book is more
accessible than J. Patrick Lewis's Monumental Verse (National
Geographic, 2005) or a more factual text like Culture in Action:
Architecture (Raintree, 2009) and is a good precursor for either of
them." -- School Library JournalALSC Notable Children's Books -
