EUGENE THE ARCHITECT (HB)

Eugene the architect creates buildings that are incredibly straight and orderly. One day, he's surprised to find a tree growing in a house's living room. Instead of cutting it down, Eugene studies the tree, marvelling at the way its branches, roots, leaves, and trunk grow in elegant proportions. Suddenly, Eugene sees nature in an entirely new way - as something with its own type of perfection. Thibaut Rassat's playful illustrations introduce young readers to basic architectural and geometric principles while amusing them with Eugene's prickly personality and joyful discovery.
