The Man Who Walked Between The Towers (Live Oak Readalong)

In 1974, French aerialist Philippe Petit threw a tightrope between the two towers of the World Trade Center and spent an hour walking, dancing, and performing high-wire tricks a quarter mile in the sky. This picture book captures the poetry and magic of the event with a poetry of its own: lyrical words and lovely paintings that present the detail, daring, and--in two dramatic foldout spreads-- the vertiginous drama of Petit's feat.

Good book-beware- turns into a serious subject.

The artwork is so outstandingly matched to the experience and excitement of the text that the reader can't help but be drawn into the story physically and mentally. This book meets the two top definitions set forth by the ALA of: 1. A...

not sure

I have mixed thoughts about this book. Not knowing exactly how childrens little brains think. I think this book could give a child the wrong idea. The danger involved is scary. I hope parents explain that this is not a good idea to try.
