The Man Who Walked Between the Towers
By Mordicai Gerstein
The book The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein is a story about Philippe Petit and his walk between the World Trade Center towers before they were completely finished in 1974. The book told how he asked for permission but couldn't get it. It went on to tell how he worked out a plan to do it anyway and how his friends helped him carry out his plan. The pictures in this story really helped make the story. If just picturing Philippe walking across the towers isn't enough to take your breath away, the pictures will. I love how the book had two fold out pages that extended the scene. The pictures really helped take your breath away and visualize what was going on in the book. This would be a great book to read to any Elementary class when talking about the World Trade Center.
