The world's most iconic buildings are made accessible and exciting
for young readers in this colorful introduction to architecture
that changed the world.
Children's fascination with buildings is a natural outgrowth of
their curiosity about anything strange or huge or complex. This
unique book brings together thirteen architectural wonders that
have intrigued children for years. Through activities such as
games, quizzes, drawings and other activities, it teaches them the
history behind each of the buildings, and presents fascinating
facts about the design, historical use, and construction
techniques. This book features pyramids built by men with pulleys,
a tower that leans, an opera house shaped like a sailboat, a museum
built like a spiral, and the most recent example, a "bird's nest"
stadium where the 2008 summer Olympics were held. Each of these
buildings and more are introduced to young readers through lively
texts and illustrations that will serve to heighten their interest
and knowledge about the world's most important architecture, and
perhaps inspire them to dream and build on their own.
