Lee & Low Books Dreaming Up: A Celebration of Building Review: Building readers one block at a time - Christy Hale imaginatively pairs drawings of young children building forts, sandcastles and more with photographs of fascinating architectural structures that mirror the children's creations. Each comes with a concrete poem that will bring a smile to your face. Hale's comparisons and poems are accessible to young preschoolers, but they'll also intrigue seven and eight year olds. My daughter says, "I *love* that book! The thing I love most about it is that it can be for all age groups. It does not matter if you're a grandma reading it to your little grandchild or if you're a middle school kid who's fascinated by buildings." I especially appreciate the way Hale carefully included so many different children, architects and types of buildings throughout Dreaming Up. As you can see, the children have a range of skin tones and ethnic backgrounds. In the back, you can read about architects ranging from Zaha Hadid, an Iraqi woman who designed the Vitra Fire Station in Germany, to Simon Velez, a Columbian man who designed the Bamboo Church in Columbia. Review: Building Dreams - How fun! Every child loves to build whether it is with legos, blocks, boxes or couch cushions and this book is filled with many colorful images of building play. Each page shows a child's masterpiece next to a beautiful image of a famous piece of architecture that looks like it was conceived by such play. I'll never again look at La Sagrada Familia without thinking of sand castles. Parents--The text is very short allowing for many repeated reads. This book will inspire hours of creative play! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #58,422 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #25 in Children's Architecture Books (Books) #1,244 in Children's Geography & Cultures Books (Books) #4,315 in Children's Activities, Crafts & Games Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 252 Reviews | ## Images ![Dreaming Up: A Celebration of Building - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712E2DoWO4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Building readers one block at a time *by G***S on March 28, 2013* Christy Hale imaginatively pairs drawings of young children building forts, sandcastles and more with photographs of fascinating architectural structures that mirror the children's creations.
