Brooklyn Bridge by Lynn Curlee
Good intermediate level picture book on the Brooklyn Bridge. Beautifully illustrated, but more technical and text-heavy than other picture books--some spreads are text only. Includes a great deal more of the technical aspects of the bridge-building work and the engineering. Back matter includes a timeline and specs for the bridge.
