TONIGHT: book launch party for Isabel Hill's new book for children about architecture called, Urban Animals
At the Old Stone House on Tuesday, September 22, 7-9 p.m (Fifth Avenue and 3rd Street in Park Slope). Here's the publisher's blurb:

Come to the city and you will find, animals, animals of every kind! Discover donkeys on grilles, boars guarding stoops, and elephants supporting flagpoles. The fantastic architectural animals and playful illustrations in this rhyming book will introduce children to the fanciful world of our built environment. Isabel Hill draws on over 30 years of experience working in urban planning and historic preservation to offer a new perspective in cityscapes. Young children will enjoy the game of identifying animals, while older children and adults will pause over the quirky architectural details. This book includes a glossary of terms with simple, clear definitions that will empower children with new words and phrases about architecture.

Isabel Hill is a photographer, architectural historian, urban planner and award-winning documentary filmmaker. Her photographs have appeared in many publications. She is a principal in Building History Associates, a small company specializing in reports, photographs and documentary films on architecture and urban issues.
