Just love this book! It's so "popular". I cannot even imagine the man hours involved in its production. What a bargain! As a former elementary school teacher, I feel that history can be made more real to children through illustrations. This book has the most incredible pop-ups that encourage a rememberance of history and mythology.
I purchased this book for a great nephew, but I will wait until next Christmas when he's a little older to gift him with this item. In the meantime I'm going to keep it and savor it as a treat to myself!
