Sky Boys: How They Built the Empire State Building

My son found this book at the library and fell in love! He is now obsessed with skyscrapers and wants to build them when he grows up. We got tired of checking it out of the library constantly so now he has it all to himself.

love this book....................great for the library having to do with building and perseverance....I dont know what else to write...thank you

Excellent!!

The is easy to grasp and with it The child and the reader got to see actual pictures taken on the job.

My 5 year old son loves this book. He's loved it for a few years now. The illustrations are remarkable, and the text is beautifully written. I use it in my classroom, as well, to teach figurative language. (I teach 2nd grade.) All of Deborah Hopkinson's books are amazing.
