A beautifully illustrated book that guides young readers through Wright’s designing of Fallingwater, from his initial inspiration to the finished construction of the home. The book opens a window to one architect’s creative process.

The story of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Edgar Kaufmann, and the house that came to be called Fallingwater. The illustrations (watercolor, ink, and gouache) are accompanied by a lot of text, suitable for an elementary school audience. ( )

Interesting non-fiction picture book about how Wright was inspired to build the fabulous Fallingwater home. It made me want to visit this amazing structure! ( )

What a story! I had previously learned of Fallingwater in my AP US history class in high school, so I had a vague idea of what I was going to learn from this book. However, I wasn't prepared for the delightful way I'd learn it. Harshman and Smucker tell the story of Frank Lloyd Wright's crowning architectural achievement: Fallingwater. During the time of its construction, Wright had been forgotten; some even thought he was dead! Edgar Kaufmann enlisted Wright to construct a house by a waterfall in Pennsylvania. However, Wright created a plan to build the house ON the waterfall.
This book is so refreshing for me. Finally, a biography written like an artful story! The language used in this book is enchanting; the illustrations are just a bonus with the amount of detailed imagery contained in the book. The flow of the story is so captivating, jumping from cool storytelling paralleling Wright's time dreaming to fast, poetic jumps emphasizing the quick construction of the house. I love the illustrations used especially when everything is tilted sideways to capture the size of the house. I truly could not imagine a way to improve this book, I would steal this right from the library if I didn't have a conscience. Unfortunately, I'll have to settle on purchasing it on my own for my future children. ( )

A picture book format book about one house; a very famous house. The house Frank Lloyd Wright build at the later part of his career. Lyrical language accompanies the illustrations that articulate Wright’s ideas of long straight lines with a touch of nature. It is a combination where images add to the text. This is how Wright had imagined the house according to the story.
The book starts with the architect in his office, thinking it is the end of his career when he receives a request from department store owner Edgar Kaufmann. He wants to build a house away from the city between rugged hills where a stream called Bear Run comes through.
The last spread has an author's' note, artist's note, bibliography, and additional information for those who like to read more about this world famous house.
A wonderful addition for any library.
