The book's adorable tour guide, a character named Archy, narrates the journey in rhyme, with each letter of the alphabet corresponding to a St. Louis landmark. Lee Ann Sandweiss's playful poetry incorporates history and local lore while celebrating the beauty and charm of the region's architectural treasures. The text is complemented by full-color collage illustrations that combine the whimsy of Phyllis Harris's delightful characters and Gen Obata's evocative architectural photography.
From the Gateway Arch to the world-famous Zoo, St. Louis ARCHitecture for Kids is a must-have book for any-one who loves the urban landscape and wants to ignite curiosity and appreciation for the built environment in youngsters.
