They follow along as Wright develops the unique style that led him ot the top of his profession and learn details of masterpieces such as the Robie House, Hollyhock House, Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, and many others.

Twenty-one inspiring activities, a new time line, glossary, bibliography, and list of current houses to visit make the second edition of Frank Lloyd Wright for Kids an engaging and comprehensive resource for kids interested in architecture, history, and art.
