THOUGHTS: Everyone knows the song, but Spier does a fantastic job of showing it. I've always liked Spier's illustrations because they are rich in detail, life, and humor. His illustrations for this book were fantastic because it actually showed the rise and fall of the bridge in a humorous way.

RATING: 6/10 [Good]
