Where is the Eiffel Tower? by Dina Anastasio - ESSENTIAL

Anastasio, Dina  Where is the Eiffel Tower? 108 pgs. CHAPTER BOOK  Grosset and Dunlap, 2017.  $9.00  Content: G.  

This nonfiction book summarizes how and why the Eiffel Tower was built with explanations about the architect Gustave Eiffel and the World Fair of 1889.  It covers the dimensions of the tower, what is inside of it and how it has been used throughout history.  There is also stories of other exciting inventors that were at the World Fair and stunts that have been performed at the Eiffel Tower.  The tower has undergone improvements and is one of the most recognized structures in the world.  

This book is fantastic.  It gives simple and interesting explanations about people, places and stories surrounding the tower. There are black and white drawings to help the reader.  I love this series and this is a great addition.
