What are you able to build with your blocks?

Renowned illustrator Daniel Kirk has joined his "blocks" -- in this case, bright colors, bold shapes, and retro style -- with Robert Louis Stevenson's classic poem to construct a nostalgic yet exuberant celebration of fun and imagination. It is a joyous look at playtime that will encourage toddlers to build dreams all their own!

Take me to Block City
This is a wonderful book for children and people of all ages. My kids and I enjoy reading it again and again. It truly captures the worlds one can imagine and create with the simple elegance of wooden blocks. The poem has a beautiful rythmn and the pictures are a treat. We especially love the "pirate" men. They always make all of us giggle.

A Magical Book for Kids of All Ages!
I love this book! By using Stevenson's poem, Ashley Wolff captures the magical moments of childhood in a way that will bring a rush of memories to adults, and instant recognition to children. Staying in bed with the flu or a cold, most children devise imaginary games to occupy their time. Future quiltmakers, carpenters and other folks, will recognize themselves in this book. A delightful romp!
