What is Bridges about?

How can a bridge stretch across a river, climb over a road or hang high above a valley? This lively introduction explores the many ways bridges help people travel from one place to another. Young readers discover different bridge shapes, materials and building methods, from simple wooden crossings to huge modern structures. Clear explanations, photographs and practical ideas encourage children to look closely at bridges around them and think about how engineers solve problems to make journeys safer and easier.
