One of my favourite picture books ever! A brilliant combination of David Roberts' detailed illustrations and Andrea Beaty's rhyming sentences.
Iggy Peck has been building with whatever materials he can get his hands on, whether that be nappies, pencils or apples and peaches. His parents love their son's talent, but when he starts school his teacher, Miss Lila Greer, isn't happy with Iggy's interest in architecture. You see, Miss Greer has had a fear of heights since the age of six where she spent a rather long while stuck in a lift with circus performers at the top of a very high building.
But what happens when on a school trip, Iggy's class incurs a disaster and Miss Greer passes out?! Can Iggy and his talent help save the day with some shoestrings and a a couple of fruit roll-ups?
A few of my friends are studying architecture at university and I have bought several of them copies for their birthday's and they have been very well received!
