At the behest of oil heiress Aline Barnsdall, the twentieth century's greatest architect created one of his most imaginative and controversial residential designs. Built in Hollywood in 1920-21, Hollyhock House attests to the genius of Frank Lloyd Wright. This splendid home and its construction are documented here in more than 120 illustrations -- photographs, floor plans, elevations, sketches, etc. -- accompanied by the author's detailed, perceptive text.
Donald Hoffmann, noted Wright scholar and architectural critic, draws on a wealth of primary documents and his own direct observation not only to re-create the problems of clashing egos and rancor behind the house's turbulent history, but also to invite a true appreciation of its myriad aesthetic and architectural charms. The varied aspects of the house are captured in this lavishly illustrated tribute, which reveals the imaginatively shaped spaces, inner harmonies, daring conceptions, and exquisite details that make Hollyhock House a landmark of modern design.

Hilarious Nonfiction!
Format: Hardcover
I'm always on the lookout for a nonfiction book that will grab the students' attention. This is it! The author does a great job of melding accurate information with a fun format. Of course, there's also the narrative tension of not knowing the superpower until the very end, so readers never stop turning the pages. Am excited to see this is a series. Will order the second book today!

So much fun!
Format: Hardcover
Kids will LOVE this book. I'm an adult and I LOVED this book! Try it out ... just say "stinkbird" and "superpower" to a kid and see what happens. I'm 99.9% sure that you'll be purchasing this book OR that you'll be on your way to the library. It's adorable! It's humorous! Jill Esbaum's text paired with Bob Shea's artwork make this book a true winner. Read it and revel in the fun as stinkbird's superpower is revealed.
