Review by Horn Book Review

Real bridges from around the world serve as examples of the different methods engineers have used to span rivers, canyons, and valleys. The tri-part text (a line of descriptive prose; the name, location, creation date, and style of the bridge; and a caption with engineering details) is choppy, but the detailed three-dimensional cut-paper illustrations will have readers gazing for hours.
