Review:

If you think “Bling” is just shiny bobbles and jewelry, this guide will have you rethinking what you think you know. This big book has things that have been considered priceless over the years. Featured here are extravagant animals, maginificent money, splendid science, lavish lights and so much more.

If you didn’t have any cash what would you use as money? Throughout history people were very creative. Cowrie shells, peppercorns, candy, parmigiano cheese and even playing cards have been used as currency. If Cleopatra was around today she would be worth nearly $100 billion. There are things all around us in nature that have great value. Caves are featured here and the photography shown is priceless. There are objects viewed as art that are shiny and spectacular too. When you look up at the stars at night do you see the amazing constellations? If not, you are certainly missing out.

Inside this guide readers will find hundreds of facts from crowns to jewels to animals that shimmer. This planet is filled with plenty of bling and readers will discover true beauty and riches from all around the world. Parents and teachers will enjoy sharing this with young readers. Interesting information along with amazing photographs bring to light all of the bling you can imagine.
