Title: Great book, but not the best in the series
Review: This series from D. Macaulay has been around for decades, and some of the titles are really phenomenal (Cathedral and Underground are my two favorites). I purchased this one because I thought it would relate well to our American History studies this year, and tie in the architecture my son loves. At 8, my son reads well (5th - 6th grade levels), but this book is still a little above him in its density and concepts for purely independent reading. It's better if I read some parts aloud, then let him study the drawings and pick some to duplicate. As you might expect, a mill is interesting, but not captivating. I can't wait to read Pyramid with him in World History next year, however!
