Schiffer Publishing Ltd ArchiTek
Book SynopsisA kid-friendly introduction to building an infinite variety of fantastical structures.Trade Reviewnbsp;Kids love to build and ArchiTek will keep the—and their adults—constructing creative buildings and other objects for hours. Kids can create the twenty models in either color or black-and-white (which can be colored with permanent markers, if so desired). Each notched piece inter-locks with ease (no glue or other adhesive needed). Between the included model instructions and a child’s imagination, ArchiTek contains unlimited possibilities. Kids who like to build with Legos,® Magnetic Kits, or even good old-fashioned Lincoln Logs;® find construction fascinating; or wonder how things are made, will love ArchiTek. -- Kidslit Reviewsnbsp;Any kid, who loves to build, create, and use their skills as well as their imagination, is going to enjoy this clever book immensely. At around 4-5 inches by 4-5 inches this is a small, square, sturdy, and thick book...but it is by no means a board book for young readers. This is a construction set within a book, offering not hours of reading but tons of building fun. The idea behind the book is to give children a chance to discover the small architect inside of them. Each page holds one or more construction pieces (95 in all), which can be slid into each other according to desire or design. The pieces are sturdy and will hold up to being used time and again. There's also an instruction booklet in the first pages, which gives an illustration of various 'buildings' which can be built and directions on how to construct them. They are easy to understand and follow. -- Bookworm for Kids
