This review is from: America's Top 10 - Bridges (Hardcover)
I just finished reading this book as part of my preparation for a Middle School unit on Bridge Construction, and I am disappointed. If you are looking for a quick and simple reference book, you may be satisfied; however, I found it thin on text (only 24 pages long, including the index), with only two to five paragraphs of collected information, facts and historical bits on each bridge. The text is dry; thus, I am not convinced it would engage young readers, and it offers very little to help kids conceptually understand the different brdige types it features. This book never does answer the question: "Why are THESE ten bridges America's TOP bridges?"
