Architecture According to Pigeons

64 pp. | Phaidon | November, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7148-6389-4 $19.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Natsko Seki. Pigeon Speck Lee Tailfeather leads children on an international architecture tour, stopping at famous sites and offering both solid information and his special perspective on each one. The clever narrative concept is mostly well executed, and the flowery writing is entertaining (on the Eiffel Tower: "the latticed tower looked almost delicate, like spun sugar"). Seki's illustrations are attractive but stylized rather than technically detailed.
