It's never too early to get an A+ in architecture! Here's a fun new board book series that introduces a wide array of nonfiction subjects to babies and toddlers.

Welcome to Baby 101, where big subjects are tailored for little babies. Featuring simple words and bright and engaging illustrations, this introduction to architecture includes information about how buildings are made, featuring famous sites like the Colosseum, the Taj Mahal, and the pyramids. So don't be late, because this is one class that babies won't want to miss. Look for the surprise lift-the-flap ending!

Also available in the Baby 101 series: Botany for Babies, Zoology for Babies, Anatomy for Babies.

"Think architecture isn't for little ones? This informational board book distills architectural concepts into manageable pieces. Throughout this well-organized text, short sentences clearly define various architectural terms. . . . Art and words smoothly blend to make information accessible but without talking down to child readers. . . . Architecture really is for kids! This is a surprisingly informative and accessible concept book."—Kirkus

Great board book

Great board book
I love this book. I love that it not only talks a little about architecture (as far as who plans and who actually builds), but also about famous buildings/landmarks and building materials.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute book, beautiful artwork

Cute writing and beautiful pictures. My husband who’s an architect loves it almost as much as our 9 month old, who especially enjoys the last page (ifkyk). Our 7 yr old daughter really loves reading it to her baby sister.
Highly recommend!

My sister-in-law is expecting and an architect, and she was so excited for a book that will let her share her interests with the baby.
The book has beautiful illustrations and fun flaps, definitely a good find!

Adorable book. I work for an Architecture firm and received this as a gift and had to pass it onto an expecting coworker! We all signed the book for her to keep it as a momento for the new baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book for toddlers and preschoolers!
Reviewed in Australia on August 25, 2019

This book is part of a collection of board books that aim to explain difficult concepts for babies (I would say toddlers and preschoolers, even though babies will probably enjoy the cute illustrations). Titles involve Botany, Anatomy, Economy, Engineering, etc.

So far I’ve only read this one about architecture and it’s brilliant! It explains the basic concepts of designing and building a building, the different materials used in construction, the architectural styles. I love that there are images (and names) of famous buildings and the last page of the book invites the child to build their own project.

The simplicity and the board book style pleased my 18 months old but the subject also kept my 4yro interested - he asked me about the materials (wood, metal, brick), we had discussions about how heavy/durable the materials are, about the architectural styles, the famous buildings he knows. To me that is the perfect definition of a great book: it pleases and amazes children of different ages!
