17077r.html to 0877017077-17077r.html : Thu Feb 15 18:14:00 PST 2001--KIRKUS REVIEWS,December 1990An unusual pop-up book that celebrates a forgotten item of cultural literacy:  seven colossal monuments (including the Colossus of Phodes, from which that word is derived). Of the seven, only the Great Pyramid at Giza still stands. A brief text introduces each wonder; the pop-ups are handsome and cleverly designed, impressionistic rather than realistic in effect. An intriguing curiosity to pique interest in this sidelight of history.--SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL,May 1990From the kingdom of Egypt to the Golden Age of classical Greece, the seven ancient wonders of the world  are ingeniously portrayed in this appealing and instructive fine-art pop-up book. Captured in magnificent full-color illustrations that literally leap from the pages, here is an entertaining look at history's best know monuments.
