This book provides an interesting, basic look into the Terracotta Warriors. It provides simple background information about the actual 1974 archaeological find to detailed information about the first emperor Qin Shihuang who was responsible for these magnificent pieces of art being created. The pictures in this book are just stunning! Even though this is a children's book, I really wish it was longer with more information. I guess I will have to check out some of the resources that the author recommends at the back of the book to learn more.
Interesting side note- I had been bothered by the fact that the word "archeology" was used when I had always been taught that the correct spelling was "archaeology," but then I looked it up and it turns out that both spellings are considered proper and acceptable. I guess I learned something new beyond what I was planning to learn! :-P
