The Seven Natural Wonders of the World: A Pop-Up Book

by Celia King

A companion to the popular book The Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, this attractive fine-art pop-up book ingeniously portrays some of the most remarkable landmarks of the natural world. Form the tiniest life forms on the ocean floor to the glaciated peaks high above, the seven natural wonders in this book are among the most spectacular sights in the world and testify to the magnificence of our amazing planet. Each wonder is richly portrayed with a jewel-like collage illustration and accompanied by a brief informational text. The shimmering colors of the Grand Canyon; the varied life of the Great Barrier Reef; the icy peaks of Mt. Everest -- all these and more are presented in miniature, three-dimensional splendor.

What a neat lil' capture of the world! My grandparents gave this pop-up book to me as a kid and I think it made me wild about the world.

I love pop-up books, so I was pretty excited about this. The text is fairly boring, though, and honestly, the pop-ups sort of take-away from some of the imagery -- it all seems so small and inconsequential.
