Iggy Peck, Architect is a stunning children's book, one that leaps out at you from the shelf. David Roberts' fun, retro modern illustrations are wonderful and add to Andrea Beaty's charming story.
Iggy Peck is an aspiring architect who, even at age two, and lets his imagination take off until one oppressive school teacher puts a stop to his passion by forbidding him to build things in class. The implication that an education that stifles the creative spirit, that denies children the freedom to follow their bliss will not be lost on anyone who's encountered one of those odd teachers that seem to actually hate children.
It's a great story for little ones, but the inspired illustrations will pique the interest of lovers of design and illustration of any age.
But what do you think?
