Tesoros es un libro lleno de relatos, historia y un poco de antropología de manera mundial. Una excelente lectura que había postergado desde que era una niña.

Bought for my son - a brilliant book - fold out maps, stories, cartoons and brilliant photos of some of the world's most interesting treasure troves. An introduction to history, archeology that is both fascinating and informative. Well paced for children and wide ranging (Sutton Hoo to the Mayans) and much to interest most age ranges - my son is 5 but would also work for older children. (CD-Rom included with games but we haven't broken that out yet.)
