Beautifully illustrations and layout. Clean, crisp, uncluttered pictures are a joy. The text is sparse but gives all the information needed, with one curious exception: no mention is made of the space program in the timeline. How weird is that, for a book in which the endnote was written by a NASA astronaut?

Simple text and bright, full-page illustrations describe what bridges are, what they cross (rivers, valleys, etc.), what they're made of, and the different kinds (these are also on the endpapers: pontoon, trestle, log, drawbridge, suspension, beam, covered, arch), as well as the types of things that cross them (people, cars, etc.). Informative; just right for a 3yo.

Summary:
This book is about how skyscrapers are built and the process it takes to build them step by step. During certain steps, the author gives the reader reasons as to why the builders do those steps. It shows the different types of skyscrapers and what it takes ti build them.

Reflection:
I think this book was pretty interesting because I never knew some of the things it talks about. I thought it was cool to see a step by step process of how the buildings were actually made and what they show more are made from.

Into the sky was about all the large buildings such as skyscrapers. The book explained how they are built, how tall they are, where they are built, and what they are built for. It explained how offices, restaurants, stores, apartments, and hotels rooms could be built in skyscrapers. It also gave examples of skyscapers such as the Empire State Building and the Petronas Towers. In the back of the book it showed pictures of skyscrapers all over the world and had their names next to them.

This show more was a good informational book and explained a lot about buildings. I liked how it gave a page in the book with examples of the skyscrapers. I think that children would learn a lot from this book and it gives great information for them to learn about. I even learned information from this book that I didn't know before.

This book would be good in a classroom if the teacher was teaching about buildings that week. I would have the student design one of their own buildings and then tell everyone about it and what it would look like. show less
