A delightful story chronicles the adventures of a wren as he seeks to build the ultimate birdhouse. Learn about architectural style coast to coast in a childishly charming book that is a blast of color from front to back. Expose your child to concepts of classic design as diverse as Georgian Revival and log cabin, Art Deco and Arts & Crafts. Children will see their environment, whether their own home or the town they are driving through, in a whole new light. This is a book you'll want to read aloud together time and again. Early reader-ages 5-8.
