Read in our homeschool (5th grade and kindergarten) for morning time. We really enjoyed this book.

We have LOVED this book and visiting some places of interest to discuss the architectural elements we learned about while reading the book.

If I had read this when I got it, I might’ve gone into architecture. Now, while I can have a clean conscience of giving it away, I don’t feel like I was the target audience. The writing style is designed for someone around 5th grade or less, although it packs a good punch in terms of content and length.

Good for kids who like architecture more than LEGOs and Minecraft, not for high schoolers who want to read that book they got a long time ago.

Slightly rewritten compared to A Child's History of Art but the extra diagrams and photographs make up for the changes in text.
