Reviews
"A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." - Booklist, starred review "The book is perfect for Lego-obsessed fort builders in your life who spent their toddler years hovering near construction sites. Agrawal would also encourage you to give it to a child who hasn't yet shown much interest in math and science, . . . who may not consider engineering for a career." - Smithsonian Magazine's THE TEN BEST CHILDREN'S BOOKS OF 2022 "Perfect for browsing by young readers with an interest in engineering or architecture." - WSJ "A particularly engaging survey, both for its variety and its unusually expert perspectives." -- Kirkus Reviews "This is one of the best children's books published this year, and you don't have to be a child or a structural engineer--or a structural engineer wannabe -- to enjoy it." - Forbes, "A particularly engaging survey, both for its variety and its unusually expert perspectives." - Kirkus Reviews "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." -- Booklist, starred review, "A particularly engaging survey, both for its variety and its unusually expert perspectives." -- Kirkus Reviews "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." -- Booklist, starred review, "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." - Booklist, starred review "Perfect for browsing by young readers with an interest in engineering or architecture." - WSJ "A particularly engaging survey, both for its variety and its unusually expert perspectives." -- Kirkus Reviews "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." -- Booklist, starred review, "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." -- Booklist, starred review
