Cute story

Really cute story about a termite that follows his dream despite what others say. My son read it to his 3rd grade class and they loved it too. I would say this book is good for 1st-3rd graders.

I have probably read this book to my boys 100 times now and they always love Roberto. My youngest son, Elias, wanted to give the book ten stars instead of five.

Great first book for baby architect

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2005

I found out about this book from a fellow architect who was looking for architecture related children's books for her children. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased it for another architect friend's baby shower and will continue to purchase it for other architect friends in the future, as well as for my own children when the time comes. The story is very cute, the names are clever and the illustrations are fun. The perfect book for a future architect.

This book was purchased as a gift for someone graduating from college - he studied architecture. He and his friends and family appreciated the story and the illustrations. We all think it's a great gift idea. It provided lots of entertainment as it was passed around the group the whole party time.
