Guess what I have for you today? Another Unfolding Journeys book, this one on the Great Wall! You may remember me talking about Rocky Mountains Explorer in the past. This book does not disappoint as it dips us into the Following the Great Wall in China.
Following the Great Wall is an unfolding book, where the one side of the fold out is illustrated images about the great wall, with the opposite side giving factual details.
This is one of the facts that I particularly find helpful when talking about a subject with a group of students. Being able to easily show them an image while I read the information from the backside of the image.
But the information is so readily linked that even if you are sitting just looking at the book you can easily flip from one side to the other to learn more. The numbering system is just so helpful. With the illustration providing just enough information to peak one’s interest.
My Thoughts:
I thoroughly enjoy the unfolding journey books and this one is no exception. To be able to see the whole picture and take in all the details, and then to gain more information in whatever images hits my fancy.. it’s great!

Oh – Miss L would sure enjoy this. May have to see if we can order her one. She is still fascinated with China.
It's a rather neat book. Pretty sure it found a new home too. 🙂
