Skyscraper by Jorey Hurley - ADVISABLE

Skyscraper by Jorey Hurley. PICTURE BOOK. Paula Wiseman (Simon & Schuster), 2019.  $18. 9781481470018

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Each two page spread of this book has one illustration and one verb written in large letters. The illustrations and actions all convey the process by which skyscrapers are built.

The illustrations in this book are lovely. They are detailed without being busy and clean without being boring. I like that the colors are non-traditional for the usual construction book, broadening the appeal to both genders and more readers.
