I am so fond of this book...I've read it many times, to myself and aloud to different groups of kids. Last week I read it aloud to a group of nine to twelve-year-olds that were attending the "Bridges" STEM camp that I was facilitating, and it delighted me once again. I love the Golden Gate Bridge. I never saw it or drove over it until about 15 years ago when I went to visit a dear friend in Marin County, California. Since that first visit there have been at least two visits a year, and we always drive at least one back-and-forth trip over "my" bridge. My friend's mom was one of the thousands of people who walked across the span on opening day in 1937. She's told me the story several times. This is a wonderful book of two friends and the dads who built the Golden Gate Bridge.

This is going to be a great "anchor" in differentiating instruction--research skills. What would be the setting? Which president is in this picture?
