After watching a show on the Golden Gate bridge I thought I needed to find a book, and what a find it was! Granted, This Bridge Will Not Be Gray, story by Dave Eggers and art by Tucker Nichols, is a children's book, but the text and unusual art work make it a worthy read for us older folks, too. It's a nice little history of the bridge and how it was built, and why it is the color it is.

Keeping with the easy-to-read theme here, I read The Building of the Golden Gate Bridge, by Arnold Ringstad. It's a nice history of the bridge and (no surprise, given the title) how it was built! Good explanations of the foundations (one end is much deeper than the other), how the cables were strung, safety nets, and ... the color!
