I liked the variety of buildings and the diversity of where the buildings were located. I also liked the interactive elements on nearly every page spread. It's a good book for younger children, though it may need to be read in chunks." - Nichole Folkman (librarian) "A very simple yet informative book. I know many of the children in my school would love reading this book. A great non-fiction book to add to the school library." - Rosalyn Davey (educator) "World of Wonder. Great Buildings by Mack van Gageldonk is a fantastic guide that teaches kids about amazing structures all over the world. There are even ones included in the book that may be new to adult readers. I love how the book is laid out in a way that gives information about the building as well as facts about the geography and culture of where the building is located. There's also a great mix of modern and ancient buildings and fun illustrations mixed with great photography. " - Mile Long TBR
