Nancy Price - Picture Book: Secret Treasures by Catherine Herbert Howell
Not only is this book filled with wonderful pictures but it is also a pop-up book. It tells about Tutankhamen in Egypt around 1350 B.C.; XI'AN in China around 210 B.C.; Pompeii in Italy around A.D. 79; The Mayan in Guatemala around A.D. 800; and Mesa Verde in Colorado, USA around A.D. 1250. Each pop-up picture shows great detail about life during these times and in these places. There are even moving parts that make it a bit interactive. I think books like these help keep young adults interested and help them learn more without them realizing they are learning something.
