Andrea Beaty’s 2007 children’s classic, Iggy Peck Architect - the tale of a little boy with big ideas about designing buildings. His architecture-phobic grade 2 teacher, Miss Lila Greer, forbids him to follow his passion. All that changes, of course, when he masterminds a brilliant solution to a problem that leaves his teacher and fellow classmates floored.
David Roberts’ intricate illustrations complement this fun and funny tale that paints architects as problem-solving, humanitarian, out-of-the-box thinkers rather than cravat-wearing egotists! Budding designers of all kinds will love this book. It begins ....
Young Iggy Peck is an architect
and has been since he was two,
when he built a great tower – in only an hour -
with nothing but diapers and glue.
