Iggy Peck, Architect

Product Information

Despite being barred from drawing, planning and designing, Iggy Peck’s determination and creativity come to the fore to save the day, proving that ideas and effort are essential to learning. In this sequence of lessons, children will have many opportunities to develop a love of different kinds of buildings and learn some of the key connected vocabulary. Join Iggy on his exciting adventure and let your child's imagination soar as they learn about the power of following their dreams and never giving up on what they love. With Andrea Beaty’s irresistible rhyming text and David Roberts’s illustrations, this book will charm creative kids everywhere.

Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. Children will enjoy using different materials to create their own towers and use a range of adjectives, superlatives (-est suffix) and comparatives (-er suffix) to describe and compare structures.Banned from building in school, second grade becomes a bore until one day a fateful field trip lets Iggy Peck show the world his true talents! Andrea Beaty is the author of many beloved children's books, including the bestselling Questioneers series (the latest of which is Aaron Slater and the Sneaky Snake), Happy Birthday, Madame Chapeau and One Girl.

His parents are proud of their son, though sometimes surprised by some of Iggy's inventive creations (like the tower he built out of used diapers). Many more new books are either in the pipeline or just released including His Royal Tinyness written by Sally Lloyd Jones - published by Walker Books, Chinese Emperor’s New Clothes by Ying Chang Compestine - published by Abrams, and soon to be published Don’t Blink by Amy Krouse Rosenthal – published by Random House picture books. They will consolidate their learning by creating a fact file about different buildings to go around the school to support others with ideas.

I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.
