Robert's father is part of the construction crew, as is his friend Charlie Shu's father. Robert's dad is a high-ironman, or a skywalker, and Charlie's is a painter. Robert and Charlie spend a great deal of time watching their fathers work toward what some said was an impossible dream. When they are not gazing at their fathers through binoculars, Robert and Charlie are working on a jigsaw puzzle of an artist's rendition of the Golden Gate Bridge. Before the puzzle is completed, Robert pockets one of the pieces, intending to save it for his Pop so that he can complete the puzzle.
The story takes place in San Francisco circa 1937, when the Golden Gate Bridge was under construction.
P op's Bridge has an unusual subject for a children's picture book, but it addresses universal themes.
