Iggy Peck, Architect

This is a charming tale of a young architect named Iggy Peck who has been building structures since he was two. When his teacher declares her dislike of architecture, Iggy faces a challenge. He gets a chance to prove his architectural prowess when his class gets stranded on an island on a picnic trip. Utilizing his unique skills, Iggy Peck leads the way in building a bridge back home, successfully persuading his teacher of the incredible value of architecture. Both parents and children will love this story. 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. Also from the powerhouse author-illustrator team of 'Iggy Peck, Architect', is 'Rosie Revere, Engineer', a charming, witty picture book about believing in yourself and pursuing your passion. 'Ada Twist, Scientist', the companion picture book featuring the next kid from Iggy Peck's class, is available in September 2016.
