Synopsis
The second volume in Zebedee Helm's wonderfully irreverent series for young and old alike, Kit and Willy's Guide to Buildings examines iconic architecture around the world. Told from the perspective of Kit the Montana cowboy and his sausage dog, Willy, children are introduced to signature buildings throughout history.
With hilarious commentary and dialogue that teaches as it entertains, we learn that these days architects design buildings at funny angles on purpose, but when the leaning tower of Pisa was built, it was DEFINITELY a MISTAKE. Added advice for the visitor recommends being photographed in front of it, so it looks like you're either PUSHING it over or HOLDING it up. Full of charming illustrations in the author's signature style which make this sure to be a classic and a worthy successor to Kit and Willy's Guide to Art.

About the Author
Zebedee Helm is a UK based illustrator and cartoonist whose credits include The Telegraph, The Times, The Economist, House and Garden and World of Interiors. From 2009 to 2011 he was the weekly cartoonist for The Lady magazine, illustrating Rachel Johnson's editorial. He wrote and illustrated a guide to dogs, 'Kit and Willy's guide to the Dogs of the World' which was published in 2011 (loved by children, frowned at by dog experts and vets). He was included as one of the chosen artists to be shown at the 50 years of Private Eye exhibition at the V&A in London's South Kensington. In September 2011 the wizard Derren Brown got in touch with Helm (sadly using email, not telepathy) and asked him to animate various sequences for his channel 4 television show. There followed a BAFTA nomination, but thankfully not the prize itself which would've messed up the awards section on this website.
