The Easter Island Statues

Wonders of the World

by Deborah Underwood

Hundreds of enormous stone statues populate a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the figures gaze out over the landscape, while others lie half-finished in the crater of a volcano. The Easter Island Statues examines these mysterious monuments and the people who carved them centuries ago.

Asher (5 years old) saw a picture of the Moai in an atlas and asked me what they were. So we trotted off to the library and got this book. While it tends to be for a little older audience (at least 7 or 8) we were able to skim through and learn a great deal about this interested statues.

Very nice photographs and illustrations.
