Book Overview
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. Architecture Counts consists of numbers from 0-10 such as two brackets, three dormers, five arches and six ducts. Architecture Shapes explores shapes through the composition and arrangement of windows. Architecture Colors looks at the entire building as well as several details to suggest nine colors including a red barn, green roofs and a white church. Architecture Animals is an excursion into the deepest, wildest, architectural jungles around. Contains 14 animals in their native habitats--crawling across building facades, perched on top of a skyscraper or lounging at the ocean shore. Each full-color photograph is accompanied by a rhyme that provides hints of the animal's location or history.

Clever kids book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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. I like the prose in this book in particular. Cute poems.
A pair.

Along with Crosbie's Architecture, Colors, this is a cleverly conceived book very well executed. Good for very young toddlers, still enjoyed by my 3-year-old grandson.
A fun book

I've been reading this book to my son since he was about 9 months. It's a great alternative to some of the more conventional books about animals. The rhymes are pleasant and encourages participation by the child as he learns to talk.
