The Easter Island Statues (Wonders of the World)
Editorial Reviews
Review
Booklist : "There's plenty of information to support reports, all of which is presented in veteran series writer Kallen's straightforward, sometimes lively language. Each useful volume concludes with a glossary and further readings."
-- Booklist (May 2003)
School Library Journal : "This book does a fine job of making connections between the modern world and ancient history. Full-color photos, some of which are quite dramatic, appear throughout, and the inclusion of accidents of nature...increase the book's appeal."
-- School Library Journal (April 2003)
Children's Bookwatch : "Adding to the "Wonder of the World" series is a special focus on the mysterious Easter Island statues. An appealing title packed with visual backup."
--The Children?s Bookwatch, April 2005
Book Description
Hundreds of enormous stone statues populate a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the figures gaze out over the landscape, while others lie half-finished in the crater of a volcano. The Easter Island Statues examines these mysterious monuments and the people who carved them centuries ago.
