Embark on a time-traveling journey along the Great Wall of China.
Spanning 2,300 years and more than 13,000 miles (21,000km), this illustrated children's book reveals the story of the Great Wall and the individuals who helped build it. What started out as a frontier defense against northern tribes has, over time, become one of the seven great wonders of the world.
Panoramic illustrations and text bring to life key periods and turning points in the Great Wall's history - from the first defensive forts built in 215 BCE to its painstaking present-day restoration. Cutaway views reveal the interiors of important buildings, and pull-out details introduce fascinating facts and key characters. Readers can also search for the adventurous time-traveling bird who appears in each of the illustrations.
