This might be my favorite Questioneer book so far。 We loved recognizing Rosie and Ada in the illustrations of Iggy Peck's class， which got us wishing for books about the other classmates。 We tried to predict who the red-haired boy might be， and were pleased to discover that the brunette girl with the three white barrettes has her own book， Sofia Valdez， Future Prez。Iggy Peck is clever and fun。 "It all became clear to Miss Lila Greer， as she crossed that bridge over the stream。 There are worse th This might be my favorite Questioneer book so far。 We loved recognizing Rosie and Ada in the illustrations of Iggy Peck's class， which got us wishing for books about the other classmates。 We tried to predict who the red-haired boy might be， and were pleased to discover that the brunette girl with the three white barrettes has her own book， Sofia Valdez， Future Prez。Iggy Peck is clever and fun。 "It all became clear to Miss Lila Greer， as she crossed that bridge over the stream。 There are worse things to do when you're in grade two than to spend your time building a dream。"Story: 5Illustrations: 5Read-aloud: 5 。。。more

I don’t know why it took me so long to include in my “Have read” shelf all the kids books I’ve read over the years to my kids！！ I read a lot to my boys， and reading is reading！ Of course I can’t go way back to every book I’ve ever read to my boys， so I’m starting with the most recent ones。 This is a newish book I bought for my youngest and we both love it so much！ Such a cute， charming， funny， and overall delightful book。 Loving all the poetry/rhyming books we’ve been getting into， with top notc I don’t know why it took me so long to include in my “Have read” shelf all the kids books I’ve read over the years to my kids！！ I read a lot to my boys， and reading is reading！ Of course I can’t go way back to every book I’ve ever read to my boys， so I’m starting with the most recent ones。 This is a newish book I bought for my youngest and we both love it so much！ Such a cute， charming， funny， and overall delightful book。 Loving all the poetry/rhyming books we’ve been getting into， with top notch illustrations！！ 。。。more

Iggy Peck has an affinity for architecture from a very early age。 But in second grade he ends up a teacher who is phobic of architecture。 What can he do？Told in rhyme。

I feel like all the books in this series are good。 We just got Rose Revere and Sophia Valdez out of the library， so I'll see if I hold onto that theory， but if you read and liked Ada Twist， you'll like this one。 The only drawbacks are - the premise of the teacher "hating" architecture is a bit ludicrous， but if you just go with it it's fine， and of course having a white male protagonist is less strong/interesting in a STEM book than having a female/BIPOC character。In any case， like all these sto I feel like all the books in this series are good。 We just got Rose Revere and Sophia Valdez out of the library， so I'll see if I hold onto that theory， but if you read and liked Ada Twist， you'll like this one。 The only drawbacks are - the premise of the teacher "hating" architecture is a bit ludicrous， but if you just go with it it's fine， and of course having a white male protagonist is less strong/interesting in a STEM book than having a female/BIPOC character。In any case， like all these stories， the rhythm is great， the drawings are engaging， and it weaves in STEM info and themes seamlessly without being preachy or annoying about it。 My four year old really liked it and kept wanting it at bedtime， when I find it a bit long， actually！ 。。。more

I loved this book！ The illustrations are so good， and I love particularly the detail and diversity of all of the students。 This diversity can be seen on page 11。 I think it is so important to show students representation in the literature we read in our classrooms。 As a teacher， this book can be used to talk about different occupations。 It would also work well when teaching rhyming words！

In this story of a young man who begins to build things out of household objects and food at three years old， you will learn that everyone has a passion and a purpose and it is important for them to practice their passion and purpose。 Iggy loved building things and when he got to the second grade his teacher would not allow it but she soon realized there was nothing wrong with him doing this。 Overall， I thought it was a really cute story and can be inspiring for young children。 In my future clas In this story of a young man who begins to build things out of household objects and food at three years old， you will learn that everyone has a passion and a purpose and it is important for them to practice their passion and purpose。 Iggy loved building things and when he got to the second grade his teacher would not allow it but she soon realized there was nothing wrong with him doing this。 Overall， I thought it was a really cute story and can be inspiring for young children。 In my future classroom， I would use this book to discuss the topic of passion and purpose with my children。 I would read the book to them and then ask them after to write down something that they loved doing as much as Iggy loved building。 。。。more

I thought this book was a great story。 Reading books that rhyme is always a nice touch that I personally enjoy。 Getting to see Iggy end up thriving and sharing his love of building with his teacher and class was a great ending， as well as getting to see the teacher overcome her fear。 I enjoyed seeing the class work together and the happy ending。As a teacher， I would use this book to teach that all students have their own interests and hobbies。 Simply because Miss Greer had a bad experience with I thought this book was a great story。 Reading books that rhyme is always a nice touch that I personally enjoy。 Getting to see Iggy end up thriving and sharing his love of building with his teacher and class was a great ending， as well as getting to see the teacher overcome her fear。 I enjoyed seeing the class work together and the happy ending。As a teacher， I would use this book to teach that all students have their own interests and hobbies。 Simply because Miss Greer had a bad experience with great buildings， does not mean that she should deprive her students of this experience in their education。 This is why it is important we celebrate and share all of our interests and find the ones that mean the most to us！ After reading， we could do an activity where students are given the opportunity to discuss and share their own personal hobbies and activities。 。。。more

after reading this book it is pretty clear that iggy is not a normal toddler but rather a toddler who is so creative that he builds stuff even out of his diapers （which were all dirty）。 Just like any kid though iggy has a bump in the road when he goes to second grade and meets someone who is against what he loves most。 Although he was told to not do what he loved in the end what he loved is the only reason his teacher and class were saved。 as a future teacher， I would use this book in a lesson a after reading this book it is pretty clear that iggy is not a normal toddler but rather a toddler who is so creative that he builds stuff even out of his diapers （which were all dirty）。 Just like any kid though iggy has a bump in the road when he goes to second grade and meets someone who is against what he loves most。 Although he was told to not do what he loved in the end what he loved is the only reason his teacher and class were saved。 as a future teacher， I would use this book in a lesson about geography， when teaching about the different monuments and the history behind them I would then ask the students to find any supplies they can around the classroom and try to create their own monument。 。。。more

As with the other books in the series， the art is fantastic。 But this story is very odd。 The premise that a teacher would stifle a student's creativity/interests because of a fear of buildings （？） just felt bizarre。 As with the other books in the series， the art is fantastic。 But this story is very odd。 The premise that a teacher would stifle a student's creativity/interests because of a fear of buildings （？） just felt bizarre。 。。。more
