Skyscrapers

Oxlade, Chris. Skyscrapers. Firefly Books: 2006. ISBN 1554071364. Ages 9-15.

This book is about skyscrapers through the years and different skyscrapers today. Chris Oxlade uses a number of pictures and some overlays to keep the reader's attention and to show what he is talking about. He uses a lot of description and a fairly simple vocabulary. He doesn't use very many things to keep your attention except for the pictures and overlays. He uses real and illustrated pictures of the buildings along with overlays. I would recommend this book for people that want to either learn about skyscrapers or people who really like skyscrapers.
