We love books that encourage students to get involved with problem solving and STEM. Iggy Peck, Architect is a great book to get your students interested in and excited about science. - Jodi and the Starts With a Story Team
SUMMARY
Iggy Peck, Architect is about Iggy Peck and the different structures he builds. He has been building since he was two, and his parents have always supported his dream and creations.
When Iggy Peck goes to school, he becomes disappointed because his teacher says that talking about architecture and building structures is not allowed at school. However, he doesn’t let this squash his passion.
When the class goes on a field trip, Iggy Peck and his class have to work together to build a bridge when they find themselves stuck on an island.
Boys and girls will love hearing this story about Iggy Peck and the wonderful structures he creates.
