5.0 out of 5 stars Informative book for the younger reader
A really good book for the younger reader who has an interest in architecture or is just curious about the world in general. It shows the development of buildings through the ages and has some nice examples of interesting and significant buildings which readers will have heard of. Works well as an introduction to the subject and to stimulate further interest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to architecture
I bought this book for my 6 year old daughter and she loves it. We talk about the different styles and she like the fact that the pictures have numbers so you can get more information about different aspects of the buildings. The timeline at the back is very useful and I'm sure it'll be more relevant as she gets older.
