12 unnumbered pages : color illustrations ; 28 cm. A three-dimensional view of the Book of Genesis for older children, inspired by both a vintage copy of The Golden Children's Bible and a trip to Rome. Fischer and his collaborators offer a Garden of Eden scene executed in an artistic style that recalls ancient tile work; a huge Noah's Ark landed atop a mountain; and a Tower of Babel that climbs impressively high, even for a pop-up. The text, more commentary than story, is hidden in inset mini-books and is accompanied by reproductions of biblical masterpieces; those sophisticated elements will be of most interest to adults. The stained glass-like Jacob's Ladder, and the finale, Pharaoh's household from the Joseph story, show how this book becomes more amazing as pages are turned. --From amazon.com. by Chuck Fischer.
