Take me to Block City

This is a wonderful book for children and people of all ages. My kids and I enjoy reading it again and again. It truly captures the worlds one can imagine and create with the simple elegance of wooden blocks. The poem has a beautiful rythmn and the pictures are a treat. We especially love the "pirate" men. They always make all of us giggle.

A Magical Book for Kids of All Ages!

I love this book! By using Stevenson's poem, Ashley Wolff captures the magical moments of childhood in a way that will bring a rush of memories to adults, and instant recognition to children. Staying in bed with the flu or a cold, most children devise imaginary games to occupy their time. Future quiltmakers, carpenters and other folks, will recognize themselves in this book. A delightful romp!
