Who Was Frank Lloyd Wright? Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Born in Wisconsin in 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright became obsessed with a set of building blocks his mother had given to him on his ninth birthday. He grew up to become the father of organic architecture and the greatest American architect of all time, having designed more than 1,100 buildings during his lifetime. These included private homes – such as the stunning Fallingwater, churches, temples, a hotel, and the world-famous Guggenheim Museum in New York City. When asked how he could create so many designs, he answered, “I can’t get them out fast enough.” Frank Lloyd Wright was a man ahead of his time who could barely keep up with his own ideas!

Not just for children. If you want a quite overview of Mr. Wright's life this book is for you. Can be read in an hour and then passed on to your grandkids. This would be especially good for someone who is starting off as a docent at a publicly accessible Wright Site.
My 9 year old son loves using these books do find out about different historical figures. We will generally buy some before we travel so that he can learn about the people and/or places we are going to visit! They are a great way for us to turn a vacation into a learning tool!!!
While this was written for younger readers - perhaps fifth or sixth grade - it is an excellent quick look at Wright. We give a copy to each of our docents who give tours of a Wright building so that they have the essential Wright information and can read more on their own as they have time.
i love these books they are so entertaining and their fun to read i love that there factual and their funny and fun thats the catch Elsa
The series who what where is/was is an awesome tool to get kids to read non fictionThese books are a big hit at our school
Good book!
