World Wonders Series

Series Introduction

#

There are many breathtaking places on Earth:

Some were “carved” by nature over billions of years — like the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Northern Lights.

Some were “stacked” by ancient people with their bare hands — like the Pyramids, the Great Wall, and Machu Picchu.

Some were “built” by modern people with technology — like the Burj Khalifa, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and the International Space Station.

These places are on mountaintops, under the sea, in deserts, and even in the sky.

This series uses language that elementary school students can understand to show you the 20 most amazing wonders on Earth. Each wonder has fun stories, incredible numbers, and fascinating trivia.

After reading these stories, you’ll discover: this world is more amazing than you ever imagined.
