Dwell basically sets the standard for a modern style magazine. Sleek, slick, clean, minimalistic –– these are all descriptors of the Dwell style and their unapologetic about it.

On Friday, Dwell took a flight from their usual interior design-centric and travel-based writing, with architect-writer Dan Maginn penning an article called Reading Time: Creative Books for Kids. (Of course, the article revolves around design stuff, just design stuff targeted at kids.)

The story is simple, consisting mostly of a ten-book list of out-of-the-way, unconventional kid’s reads.

Here’s a peek at Maginn’s list:

Play All Day: Design for Children
edited by Robert Klanten and Sven Ehmann

Sky High
by Germano Zullo

Building Big
by David Macaulay

Dreaming Up: A Celebration of Building
by Christy Hale

The Works: Anatomy of a City
by Kate Ascher

Not your typical children’s titles. There are no animals, no green eggs, no ham on the list, which can be found here.
