I suspect that “The Wall” would appeal to many parents more than children. But it is so rich in information (and information that’s in danger of being lost as the Cold War children grow old). So I, too, was happy to see the book get this award, which should extend its lifespan in stores and libraries. Thanks for your comment.

I know I enjoyed this particular book of his more than my kids, but that’s okay. The illustrations are brilliant and I appreciate an elevated storyline. Good stuff, indeed.
