A hilarious, irreverent book about doing your own thing
Meet Iggy Peck—creative, independent, and not afraid to express himself! In the spirit of David Shannon's No, David and Rosemary Wells's Noisy Nora, Iggy Peck will delight readers looking for irreverent, inspired fun.
Iggy has one passion: building. His parents are proud of his fabulous creations, though they're sometimes surprised by his materials—who could forget the tower he built of dirty diapers? When his second-grade teacher declares her dislike of architecture, Iggy faces a challenge. He loves building too much to give it up! With Andrea Beaty's irresistible rhyming text and David Roberts's puckish illustrations, this book will charm creative kids everywhere, and amuse their sometimes bewildered parents.

reviewed Iggy Peck, Architect on May 14, 2009 Iggy Peck, Architect
Outstanding!!! This gem is full of charm, humor, warmth, creativity and tenacity. Iggy Peck is a born architect--one of those lucky few who knows absolutely what he wants to do with his life and decides to do it in every way he can--starting by using his diapers to build a skyscraper! His parents encourage his creativity and talent, but when Iggy gets to second grade his teacher puts a damper on both. Because SHE does not like tall buildings (she had an unfortunate experience as a child!) no one else should, either. And certainly they should NOT build them, or even talk about them, in the classroom. But when a bridge breaks during a school field trip, stranding Iggy's class on an island, the teacher faints away in fear and it is up to Iggy's talent and ingenuity--with a little help from his classmates--to save them. Kids will love the funny illustrations and amusing construction materials Iggy uses, as well as his heroism in the face of incompetent adults. Parents and teachers will find a cautionary tale and be reminded of just how easy it is for us to foist our own phobias and rules onto the innocent blossoming of childhood.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
(If any of you know and love Harry Chapin's song about the teacher and the artistic child, "Flowers Are Red" you will love this book--same idea, but more cheerful!)
