The wooden block is anything but humble in this building guide and project book for the classic children's toy. Following a preface by British architect Witold Rybczynski and instructions for basic structures like towers and beams, the book provides readers 7 to 11 with 18 building projects, ranging from a boat dock and a bridge to the Emerald City of Oz. Here too are a farm, a cathedral, a Greek temple, a castle, a Toy Store City, and a City of the Future, all illustrated with black and white photos and drawings. The book also offers sources for suitable blocks. "A great way for kids and parents to play together, and of course is also perfect for budding young architects. Each project is accompanied by detailed plans, photographs and a stunning line drawing to fire the imagination, and the text for each project puts it in its historical context."—Midwest Book Review
