The Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Neuschwanstein, the Forbidden City, and Burj Khalifa are also included. Each building is placed in a historical context, and photographs are supplemented by drawings highlighting unique features. Lift-the-flaps and fold-outs reveal more of what is hidden within these grand constructions.
Who is this book suitable for? Suitable for children interested in buildings, famous landmarks, and how things look on the inside. It can inspire them to locate sites on a world map or compare different structures. This is an illustrated discovery book about architecture and history, with English text ideal for reading together with an adult.
Read together and discover more. We recommend reading together with an adult who can assist with English vocabulary, allowing the child to describe what they notice in the images. Choose one theme at a time, leaving room for questions, short breaks, and the child’s own associations. Return to spreads that spark interest; new details may emerge upon closer inspection. Connect the content to things the child has seen at home, on trips, or in museums. The book can serve as a starting point for conversations in Norwegian, even though the text and captions are in English. Let the child’s interest and reading experience dictate the pace, and feel free to alternate between reading aloud and exploring the illustrations together. Discoveries are easily shared when everyone can look at the same spread and point out details. Such a reading session can lead to finding another book or a map to investigate a question further.
