Towering Homes Reviews
-
Used in Wonderworks (a STEAM storytime) on Towers and also for a Books & Blocks program, Winter 2014. Read selections from the book; near the end when it discusses the leaning tower of Pisa we spent more time and connected it to Paul Zelinsky's Rapunzel, which has a distinctly Italian setting.
-
An overview of all the different types of tall buildings, ranging from apartment skyrises to homes on stilts.
Good illustrations.
