Customer Reviews

Very kinesthetic and engaging text

This text stimulates kinesthetic and cognitive engagement immensely and helps children to understand very complicated concepts using concrete examples.

What DOES it Feel Like to be a Building?

This book conveys some very complex engineering concepts in a way so clear and concise that even my second-graders understood them. It's not just for the littles, either -- it's excellent for opening up avenues of discussion and exploration for older children as well. This is an excellent companion book to the Architecture And Children program, or any course of study that requires an understanding of the concepts of structure and function. A gem!
