Reviews
"A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." - Booklist, starred review "The book is perfect for Lego-obsessed fort builders in your life who spent their toddler years hovering near construction sites. Agrawal would also encourage you to give it to a child who hasn't yet shown much interest in math and science, . . . who may not consider engineering for a career." - Smithsonian Magazine's THE TEN BEST CHILDREN'S BOOKS OF 2022 "Perfect for browsing by young readers with an interest in engineering or architecture." - WSJ "A particularly engaging survey, both for its variety and its unusually expert perspectives." -- Kirkus Reviews "This is one of the best children's books published this year, and you don't have to be a child or a structural engineer--or a structural engineer wannabe -- to enjoy it." - Forbes, "A particularly engaging survey, both for its variety and its unusually expert perspectives." - Kirkus Reviews "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." -- Booklist, starred review, "A particularly engaging survey, both for its variety and its unusually expert perspectives." -- Kirkus Reviews "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." -- Booklist, starred review, "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." - Booklist, starred review "Perfect for browsing by young readers with an interest in engineering or architecture." - WSJ "A particularly engaging survey, both for its variety and its unusually expert perspectives." -- Kirkus Reviews "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." -- Booklist, starred review, "A useful, intriguing, and unusually beautiful addition to the engineering shelves." -- Booklist, starred review

    The package was shipped here fast, and the CDs were in good condition, but the case got stuck to the pamphlet inside. The seller did tell the truth in saying it was acceptable as was described, and he chose a good price for this, as it is 2 CDs that are almost 15 years old.

    This is the second purchase I made from this seller, and they have quickly become an e-bay favorite! The shipping was SUPER fast, the packaging was carefully rendered, and the DVD itself was in BEAUTIFUL condition. Like my last purchase, the DVD was brand new and still encased in shrink wrap. What an amazing seller! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Also, it feels nice to support an organization who is helping our marginalized communities. Thank you for everything!

    The Make Room For Daddy Vol. 1 used DVD was in great condition. The slip case is in great condtion as well as the DVD and was a great value. The Make Room for Daddy Vol. 1 DVD was packed in a heavy manila bubble wrap envelope. ClickgoodwillBooks offered 5 star + customer service. I received the DVD in 5 days from Indianapolis Indiana. A very nice eBay seller to buy from to help out a charity.
