Barefoot Books Amazing Places by Miralda Colombo
5.0

This book gives information about fifteen famous places around the world, beautifully illustrated with colorful drawings. The book includes the Taj Mahal, Stonehenge, the Colosseum, Easter Island, the Great Wall of China, and many more! Each landmark has a four-page spread with facts and history about the location, the people who built it, what to look for as a tourist, and how the structures are preserved.

I love the cartoony art style. The people in the illustrations look like cute little cartoons, but the landscapes and the architecture have a majestic quality that draws the reader in. It creates a feeling of awe at the incredible landmarks around the world and the accomplishments of previous cultures.

I like the design of this book and how the information is organized by subject into small manageable bits. I'm very impressed with the way the facts are presented. It makes this a delight to read!
