How Science Saved the Eiffel Tower by Emma Bland Smith
5.0
This is the true story of the building and preserving of the iconic landmark in France in picture book format. This book shows the challenges faced by the architect to build and prevent destruction of the Eiffel tower, meant to be a temporary installation. The theme of Science and really STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is woven throughout this story. Sub-themes include weather, architecture, flight/physics, wind tunnels, measurement, radio communications and more. This book fits well into the recently expanding genre of children's biography and historical fiction picture books.
As a grade 3 teacher I could definitely see myself purchasing a copy of this book for my classroom library. I would recommend it for families, teachers and librarians serving children in the 5-12 age range. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this fabulous book!
