My opinion: The most creative of the Caldecotts
David Macaulay is known for his architectural books: Pyramid, Castle, and City: a Story of Roman Planning and Construction and their accompanying videos. However, this Caldecott winner is a demonstration of that soaring Macaulay imagination!

David Macaulay has done it again
Following in the tradition of other terrific books about complex construction projects using simple technology - such as Castle and Cathedral - Macaulay introduces children to the pyramids of ancient Egypt. And once again he hits a homerun, with a storyline that's just ...

Motel of the Mysteries
It was recomended by a teacher friend. It's quirky, funny & full of imagination. I have read books by Elisabeth Peters on archeology & discovering Egyption tombs so I enjoyed this because it challenges the imagination on what future scientists might discover about our ...

City: A Story of Roman Planning and Construction
David Macaulay
Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books, 1983
Roman Architecture Explained: Fascinating!
In this book, David Macaulay expertly describes and illustrates the construction of the imaginary Roman city of Verbonia. It is based hundreds of real Roman cities built between 300 B.C. and A.D. 150. I was amazed at the planning that went into the city, and the ...

Rome Antics
David Macaulay
Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books, 1997
The perfect engagement gift!
Share David MacAuley's obviously personal portrait of Rome. It's a portrait in the most obvious sense: lovingly detailed drawings of Rome's greatest architecture captured from MacAuley's witty and often weird perspective. But, through the drawings and the wonderful ...

Angelo

Another Caldecott contender from Macaulay
Each day at work I have to read the new picturebooks that have been proccessed. I dislike few of them. I enjoy most of them. I love very few of them...especially on first perusal. "Angelo" is one of the very few. It's the story of the unlikely friendship between a ...

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2004
Perfect for reading in small bites
The Way Things Work is a charming, illustrated guide to the physical world for those of us who are both curious and a bit undereducated. The charm comes from Maccaulay's illustrations and his adorable choice of mammoths (that's right, mammoths) as the foils for the ...

Read this now.
This is a highly unlikely story. But it is rich with detail, and the author's drawings are, as usual, incredible. The ending is the also a delight. This is one you will buy for your kids but keep for yourself
