Iggy Peck, Architect Hardcover – October 1, 2007 by Andrea Beaty (Author), David Roberts (Illustrator) (Abrams Books for Young Readers)



The illustrations are and the story is undeniably wonderful. The text rhymes throughout the entire book so every child I've read this too, 12 months to older, have all listened well to the very end as the cadence and rhythm of the words holds their attention. The pages are nice and thick, cardstock-like paper so it's not flimsy or easy to tear. The storyline is about a little boy who builds great things like an Architect. If you want a book to encourage a child to not be afraid to be smart and to work hard for a dream or to build a career, this is definitely a book for you! Love the lesson it teaches. A hilarious, irreverent book about doing your own thing

Meet Iggy Peck—creative, independent, and not afraid to express himself! In the spirit of David Shannon’s No, David and Rosemary Wells’s Noisy NoraIggy Peck will delight readers looking for irreverent, inspired fun.

Iggy has one passion: building. His parents are proud of his fabulous creations, though they’re sometimes surprised by his materials—who could forget the tower he built of dirty diapers? When his 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’s puckish illustrations, this book will charm creative kids everywhere, and amuse their sometimes bewildered parents.
 
Also from the powerhouse author-illustrator team of Iggy Peck, Architect, is Rosie Revere, Engineer, a charming, witty picture book about believing in yourself and pursuing your passion. Ada Twist, Scientist, the companion picture book featuring the next kid from Iggy Peck's class, is available in September 2016.
