I am the librarian at an all boys' school and so of course they love all of Macaulay's books and are intrigued by the details of construction, both in words and illustrations. Our Assistant Headmaster and English teacher par excellence loves Black and White and finds new things in it every time I use it with his 11th and 12th graders (who do a children's book review every semester) but the book that I find most meaningful to teach post 9/11 is Mosque because it reminds the boys (or maybe tells them for the first time) that Islam is an important religion with deep traditions of community, respect , humility and reverence.

Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas on books for struggling readers.
Today we turn our attention to the topic for the second half of November: The Books of David Macaulay.From witty, imaginative picture books to intricate, accessible, highly visual non-fiction exploring history, mechanics, architecture and more, the books of David Macaulay comprise a distinctive body of literature for children and teens.
What are your thoughts about the work of innovative author/illustrator?
Do you have favorite Macaulay books? What books have you seen especially
appreciated by children?
