Clever, rhyming questions and large, bright photographs encourage readers to spot different elements of architecture in the structures pictured. Each letter of the alphabet represents a different concept, from the common - arch, and eave - to the less well-known - finial and quoin. Additional pages at the end of the book define architecture and provide more information about each element pictured.

"Artfully composed, the photographs command attention and arouse interest."
