Crisp, beautifully detailed illustrations include interior and exterior views, floor plans, elevations and drawings of structural elements. Carefully researched and skillfully rendered, this coloring book offers a rich survey of the varied architectural styles of these extraordinary structures. Descriptive captions are included.
My 5-year-old son is fascinated with cathedrals. He loves to look at the book I have on a local cathedral. He tries to draw them and build them with his Lego bricks. It is difficult to find a book on this subject that is geared toward his age level, so when I saw this coloring book, I knew I had to buy it. He absolutely loves it. I might have to buy several more of them. He'll have this one finished in no time.
