Cities are filled with beautiful, old historic buildings. According to Building Stories, "Buildings are like books with stories that last. They tell us about our present and also our past." This book is a picture walk through New York City, filled with photographs of historic buildings, highlighting their intricate details. Through pictures, the reader is able to "read" the buildings and learn about the characters and story lines of each building's past.
Reading this book immediately made me think about going into the city to take photographs of building with unusual details. Students could have fun writing stories about what they imagine to be the history of the buildings. A great combination of history and art!
