Gr 3-5--These two new titles in the series take young armchair travelers on illustrated expeditions along the Nile River in Egypt and the Great Wall in China. Each title features a "pull-out wall frieze" with eight dual-sided stand-up card stock pages. One side of the concertina panels is a continuum of eye-catching and intriguing facts about historic, geographic, cultural, natural, and modern points of interest. These numbered, illustrated landmarks are sequentially located along (or near) the blue/green ribbon of the Nile and along the serpentine brick/stone/earthworks of the Great Wall. Artwork is crisp, colorful, and culturally distinctive and complements the engaging, informative text. The backsides of the illustrated panels offer more detailed information. Younger students will enjoy browsing these visually rich, readable travelogues which are best viewed by unfolding and displaying the entire concertina book at once. However, the lack of an index for accessing the diverse array of facts inhibits quick reference or research. VERDICT These illustrated travel titles will spark interest in natural and man-made wonders, but they are not easily handled, refolded, or referenced. In a school setting, they may be best shared in learning centers and displays.--Gerry Larson, formerly at Durham School of the Arts, NC
