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 UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0827/2007045411-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0827/2007045411-d.html ER -
