I have just read this for the 1st time to my 4.5 year old son. He really enjoyed it and was very captivated by the sculpture photos and explanations. This is a really interesting, educational book which doesn't feel like an educational book. I also enjoyed reading it and it gave us a lot to talk about. Sweet!
