Iggy Peck has been building fabulous creations since he was two. His parents are proud of their son, though sometimes surprised by some of Iggy's more inventive creations (like the tower he built out of used diapers). When a new second grade teacher declares her dislike of architecture, Iggy faces a challenge. He loves building too much to give it up! With Andrea Beaty's irresistible rhyming text and David Roberts' unique and stylish illustration, this book will charm creative kids everywhere.

Format:Hardcover
Very funny rhyming text and beautifully illustrated -really beautifully - using some architectural drawing but so that the pictures appeal to kids and make the ideas look exciting, fun and, at times, fairly silly. If you're not American you need to able to cope with references to 'diapers' and school grades, but frankly, who can't? Iggy's the geeky hero with soaring dreams. Both my children love it.

A beautifully illustrated book - albeit very American, with references to diapers and such. Lovely gift for kids of cool parents!
