Description

Discover the city of canals through the magic of pop-ups

Venice is a magical city suspended like a dream between water and sky. For children, it is a wunderkammer in the literal sense of the term: full of surprises. As they venture into this world of magic--a dream suspended between water and sky--we watch their eyes fill with wonder. The Treasures of Venice is the first attempt in the world to reproduce Venice in a pop-up book for children, taking them on a fascinating tour of its most famous monuments, described in simple but never banal words. The monuments illustrated in the book include the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Basilica, Ca' d'Oro, Doge's Palace, Santa Maria della Salute and Gran Teatro la Fenice.
