It's like diving into history. Each page has little snippets of information that are easy to read. I love the design of the pages, and the beautiful artwork. I found it really interesting to learn that many of the workers were not actually slaves, but respected stonemasons and artisans. It's really neat to learn about the rulers and how they got the money to pay for these huge construction projects. Every culture is so different and unique. Their religious fervor, or political power, or love for their queen drove them to pour their efforts and fortunes into a big temple or statue or garden. The writing and the art really capture your attention, and every page is so colorful and attractive!\" \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e―Luminous Libro\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"If you have ever wondered how some of the grandest buildings were built in ancient times, then this book is for you. I found this book incredibly interesting! My favorite wonder of the world is the Great Pyramids. The Great Pyramids of Giza were built by a town of workers, over 20,000 to be exact! I would love to visit there someday. This book has colorful illustrations that show the construction of each wonder. This helped me to imagine what it would've been like when they were created. This is a great book and I highly recommend it!\" \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e―Kids' Book Buzz, Liam - Age 10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Wow this book is so great and so informative!
