Kids will go crazy over this brand-new Little Giant compilation. The topics range from food to customs, animals to history, nature to sports. For example, in Marostica, Italy, an immense chess board is built into the public square: the pawns and all the pieces are human beings, and the knights sit on real horses. This book shows weird worms that stop island natives in their tracks as well as 4000 year old bathrooms with modern drainage systems!
