First Shapes in Buildings Reviews

The passion of the author for architecture shines through in this photo-illustrated text. Readers are encouraged to dwell on thought provoking questions after looking at the shapes, which could lead to sustained shared thinking... Early Years Educator The book has a worthy aim - to encourage children to look at buildings with an inquisitive and architectural mind. This book is best read with an adult to guide younger readers through the issues raised (and to help identify the shapes in the pictures) - or as a starting-point for class discussions with KS1 groups. www.writeaway.org.uk The photographs and paintings are very attractive, and bring abstract shapes to life in a quite startling way. They are dramatically beautiful, and will raise the question not only about why they are beautiful, but why that particular shape is functionally so important. School Librarian
