I grew up reading almost every children book from "Green eggs and Hamers" to "Are you my Mama or what?". But I never had the privilege to come across a book as chic and urban as Iggy Peck. I'm sure any kid can relate if they love to build something out of anything. My fav. memories of childhood are building and engineering train tracks around my house, taking maybe a week to finish, and making my own "house" with sofa cushions because it was just a way to create space.
I'm a sucker for books that rhyme. I've read it out loud about 15 times....yes alone...and I'm still not tired of it!
It also got TIMES TOP10 list in 2007. HOllER! Maybe more children will aspire to be architects, not just doctors/teachers because those are the only two jobs they know.
A birthday present from my dearest, JenSincerityClarityLeung.
