I'm still crossing my fingers that my stepson will become an architect, and now that there's a baby boy on the way, I will have another one to brainwash into joining my design world! (Don't worry, I'm totally kidding-although I do believe in nurturing a child's creativity.) Anyhow, I found these architecture books for brainwashing your baby (j/k- bringing art to his young life)-I may buy the Iggy Peck one...

"Iggy has one passion: building. His parents are proud of his fabulous creations, though they’re sometimes surprised by his materials—who could forget the tower he built of dirty diapers? When his second-grade teacher declares her dislike of architecture, Iggy faces a challenge. He loves building too much to give it up!

"Insect architects! This is an inspired little story with theunlikely prospect of a termite who dreams of building with wood instead of eating it.... Roberto sets off for the big buggy city in search of his dream.
The story is encouraging, and the wordplay witty but it's the fantastically funky collages that win you over. Laden uses all sorts of images... to create unreal insect edifaces. You'll find yourself staring at the quirky seussian architecture and chuckling at all the in-jokes."---review on amazon.com by Xeneri.
