Up! skyscrapersim June 2017 fantastic detail about how a skyscraper is built I learned a lot Fortunately almost every vehicle and construction material is labeled and there s a little inset picture on each spread that shows the big picture in miniature I had a few unanswered questions what on earth happens to that crane How do they get rid of the dirt ramp after all the dump trucks go up But it s a huge hit with Ben English A wonderful nonfiction picture book about how a skyscraper is made Three ways to read this large simple words give each page an overview in verse then as a child grows older they can read the smaller details descriptions Finally each page has a small diagram showing a cutaway of the progress of the building as it is described The last page folds up to show the completed skyscraper For toddlers preschoolers and interested early readers No bibliography index citations or further suggested reading in the back though English 2017 Eureka Nonfiction Children s Book Award Rhythmic rhyming language that will appeal to a young audience while teaching about a topic that is not common in books for kids this age The topic is refreshing how to build a skyscraper Each page includes additional text that describes a particular step in building the skyscraper and there is a diagram on each page that includes labels for the different parts of the skyscraper trench with rebar glass panel curtain wall as these parts are added and the machines used tower crane concrete mixer hopper This book can be read again and again in different ways to learn additional details Just really really well done English Suen Anastasia Up Up Up Skyscraper illustrated by Ryan O Rourke PICTURE BOOK Charlesbridge Publishing Inc. Book Up! Up! Up! skyscraper This non fiction book shows how a skyscraper is built from the ground up Younger kids will enjoy the bright colorful pictures and rhyming text Older children will be appreciative of the additional non rhyming detailed text With labeled illustrations children will expand their construction vocabulary and gain a better understanding of all that goes into building a skyscraper. Up! Up! Up! Skyscraper nonfiction vs 5 starsThis picturebook on creating a skyscraper has short rhyming couplets to push the story forward and smaller informational sentences about the creation of a skyscraper This is picturebook is a solid foundation heh for learning about building construction and the process of making a skyscraper Marked down for lackluster illustrations and design English A solid book to build on however something was missing for me in this one. EBook Up! Up! Up! skyscrapersim Suen s free verse poems use a good deal of repetition of words making this a potential beginning reader filled with construction words Each two page spread has a brief explanation of what is being done in the construction of the skyscraper O Rourke s illustratons done using Photoshop are cheerful and colorful however are very static in nature I appreciate that he has labeled many key words and names of things The small inset illustration on each spread allows for young eyes to see the building as it went up This might have been made a stronger element if the illustrations were placed one following the other so readers could flip through quickly ala Dav Pilkey s flip o ramas to watch the tower go up. Book Up! Up! Up! skyscrapercity Rationale Both these texts have rhyming and short passages making them similar in writing style and audience These two texts focus on being in a construction site which meets guidance criteria about occupational knowledge The fiction text has cartoonish images of trucks with faces as the text follows through a day at the site appealing to boys and girls alike The nonfiction text has the rhyming portion but also provides detail through captions or sidebars about the construction tools or procedures to provide the extra information about the topic Nonfiction Structure and Features The structure of this nonfiction text is sequential order The text follows the building of a skyscraper from the first step to the next including time order words to help students identify the sequence The features include the sidebars of extra information illustrations of the concepts inset diagrams with labels to showcase the growth of the skyscraper as well as labels on the structure of the building and tools used on the sites. Book Up! Up! Up! skyscraperpage Strategy A nonfiction strategy I would use would be a graphic organizer broken into different parts I would first have the students make a Venn diagram to compare the fiction text with the nonfiction text to identify similarities and differences Then I would have them make a sequence chart and fill in at least 5 steps to building a skyscraper in chronological order I would also have them make a list of terms with their personal definitions similar to a glossary since this book does not include one Finally I would have them write an opinion about whether they would or would not like to work on a construction site and what they would do if they had the choice explaining their answers English Cute I think it is a great story especially for children who live in urban areas that experience these sights and sounds daily English This book is for curious kids big and small who may wonder how a skyscraper is built Each phase of construction is given its own two page spread to explain and explore what is going on with colorful illustrations and a catchy repetitive refrain scheme for the text that will engage young children There is also a short prose paragraph to read for information Important features of the illustrations are labeled for plenty of construction vocabulary building and a small cutaway thumbnail of the building for each phase shows the process from a distant and different viewpoint The final image is a fold out of the entire skyscraper as if you were looking at the new building from the sidewalk. Book Up! Up! Up! skyscraper All of the elements that make a successful read aloud are in evidence here making this a good choice for both group and one on one reading experiences The subject matter is handled to both engage what children already know yet giving them new things to learn as well Once children learn the refrain scheme they will certainly ask for readings to practice what they ve read I would recommend this book for purchase by any school or public library It works well for read aloud and for new readers as well. PDF Up! Up! Up! skyscraperpage This book was provided by the publisher for professional review by SWON Libraries English This is a great book for young building enthusiasts Not only is there great information about the building of a skyscraper I learned a lot but the combination of rhyming text and expository text make the book appropriate for young listeners and older readers In fact I quite enjoyed reading the rhymes out loud to me that s the best gauge for judging rhymes I also loved the illustrations which do an excellent job of showing the steps in the construction process The illustrator also included labels for the different materials and equipment used in the building process This is a fabulously put together book English
