Book Descriptions
for Block City by Robert Louis Stevenson and Ashley Wolff
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
"Let the sofa be mountains, the carpet be sea, There I'll establish a city for me . . ." Bold shapes and primary colors show a child playing imaginatively with building blocks. A delightfully developed reincarnation of an enduring poem. (Ages 3-7)
