Mosque by David Macaulay

My eleven year old read this book to himself as we studied the beginnings and spreading of Islam. 
He struggled a bit comprehending it well since there were a lot of building and Islamic terms he did not have in his schema. 
Readers witness the steps in building a mosque and how carefully planned the construction was.  As always, Mr. Macaulay writes a thorough, technical piece,  which will enlighten and educate its readers.
