And Little Genius: Architecture is a child's first look at the incredible work that architects do. Each spread features one or more amazing buildings or architectural feats, such as the Taj Mahal, the Chrysler Building, the Great Wall of China, the Parthenon, the Sydney Opera House, the Great Mosque of Djenné, and more!!!
