The rest of the book had amazing photographs, great information, and lots of knowledge about the beginning years.

Library Recommendation: Grab this one for your school and public libraries; it's perfect for your basketball loving readers. 

Picture Book Review: A Year at a Construction Site

A year at building a school.

Lots to see in this one. The illustrations are great, peeling back layers so kids can see the steps it takes to build a school. Plus there are objects to search for on every page, allowing kids to our over the illustrations and really take a good look at them. Perfect for one on one sharing.
