## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A beautiful book for young builders and their grown-ups, too!
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2013*

Lovely, realistic paintings of children at work and play with a variety of construction materials are paired with photos of "matching" architecture from around the world, and accompanied by concise, playful poetry.The pairings are well selected and represent not only traditional block building, but also sand play, art activities, nature play, and more. The paintings in this book have beautifully captured the focus of a child at work.My only wish is that the architectural photos paired with each painting were of a more consistent quality.  Some are truly beautiful and well composed, but others feel more like the stock photos that would grace the uninspiring pages of a ten year old textbook.The book still makes a lovely addition to the classroom, where it will support children's interest in building and in the world around them.  It reflects the ways in which young children typically interact with materials very well, and is sure to inspire play and "spark" many meaningful conversations about shapes, lines, buildings, and materials.The book has a place on the shelf of every adult educator and advocate, as well.  It has a subtle but strong message about how very valuable concrete, hands-on learning opportunities are for young children, in a format that can be enjoyed and appreciated by early childhood professionals, parents, and policy makers alike.

    Building readers one block at a time
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2013*

Christy Hale imaginatively pairs drawings of young children building forts, sandcastles and more with photographs of fascinating architectural structures that mirror the children's creations. Each comes with a concrete poem that will bring a smile to your face.Hale's comparisons and poems are accessible to young preschoolers, but they'll also intrigue seven and eight year olds. My daughter says, "I *love* that book! The thing I love most about it is that it can be for all age groups. It does not matter if you're a grandma reading it to your little grandchild or if you're a middle school kid who's fascinated by buildings."I especially appreciate the way Hale carefully included so many different children, architects and types of buildings throughout Dreaming Up. As you can see, the children have a range of skin tones and ethnic backgrounds. In the back, you can read about architects ranging from Zaha Hadid, an Iraqi woman who designed the Vitra Fire Station in Germany, to Simon Velez, a Columbian man who designed the Bamboo Church in Columbia.
