My favorite
part of this book was seeing who would do what and how much work was put into this to truly
make the building to how it is now.
The emotions and actions and the climax building up to that was quite nice because we
could see how the boy felt after the building was built. He felt as though he was on top of the
world and that his dad had contributed to making something and he felt proud in him for that.
The art was quite intricate in this because it really conveyed what was being said as the text was
going on. The theme in this story is surrounded by hard work and the future for the kid and
his father due to him losing his job and then being a part of something bigger. I believe this is a
good book if you are looking for this sort of theme and wanting to learn more about the process
although this is not completely true this is the perspective of one person and from this, you can
learn a lot. Through this story the main theme is shown a lot and allows us to be able to
understand and even experience how this would be.
