A beautifully produced book with intriguing and exciting pop-ups and flaps to lift, which reveal well researched information. The illustrations are appealing and the balance of text vs illustrations is well judged, and probably aimed at about 10 years (and up!). The papercraft really makes this book very engaging, with multiple layers to explore, and further illustrations and facts to discover on every page. -- Kate Fulcher * The British Museum *
