Twelve specialists researched famous museums of the world to find weird and wonderful items to include in this curiously interactive book. Incredible and creative describe this book. It is organized into 12 cabinets containing 5-14 items of interest per category. Each 2 pages open to a specific theme designed by one of the specialists.Themes include: Toy Maker’s Cabinet, Naturalist’s Cabinet, Miniaturist’s Cabinet, Musician’s Cabinet plus 8 others. Each page displays 2 to 14 flaps kids can open to view photographs of these weird and wonderful things. Each picture has a description about the unusual item and information about where to find the museum they are located in.
This book is interesting to look at with its creative layout. The physical aspects of the book make it best for older readers or adults to handle, because the flaps are delicate and may tear easily. Adults could guide a child in searching through this book. The subject matter is a bit bizarre on some pages, so be prepared. If you like anything weird and strange, you will probably enjoy this book.
