From the Publisher:

A senior editor at Progressive Architecture and an award-winning architectural photographer come together to present four colorful board books that introduce the built environment to preschoolers. Architecture Counts consists of numbers from 0-10 such as two brackets, three dormers, five arches and six ducts. Architecture Shapes explores shapes through the composition and arrangement of windows. Architecture Colors looks at the entire building as well as several details to suggest nine colors including a red barn, green roofs and a white church. Architecture Animals is an excursion into the deepest, wildest, architectural jungles around. Contains 14 animals in their native habitats--crawling across building facades, perched on top of a skyscraper or lounging at the ocean shore. Each full-color photograph is accompanied by a rhyme that provides hints of the animal's location or history.

Review:

Architecture Animals will fascinate readers of all ages as they go on a kind of excursion into the deepest, wildest architectural jungles around. Architecture Animals features fourteen animals as they are found in the native habitats around the country: crawling across building facades, perched at the top of a skyscraper, or lounging at the ocean shore. Each full-color photograph is accompanied by a rhyme that gives hints of the animals' location or history. Architecture Animals is virtually unique and will give a fresh view to architectural detail and fascade. -- Midwest Book Review
