Curious constructions
Michael Hearst
- Reading
- Try dipping into entries that catch your child’s interest, then follow up by comparing their purposes or designs. The book’s layout and how much detail each entry gives remain unclear.
- Themes
- Structures and engineering: The portfolio covers a broad selection of constructions, including buildings, infrastructure and imaginative designs. The book is presented as informational coverage of structures, but how it explains their design or engineering is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The subject range includes oil rigs, tunnels, roads and large engineering projects. If any of these topics may prompt questions for your child, consider looking through the relevant entries together.
