Harkening back to the days of the Greeks and Romans who identified the seven wonders of the world, all of which were man-made, this book introduces middle grade and late elementary readers to seven natural wonders. It's hard to argue with the choices of Mount Everest, Victoria Falls, the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, the Northern Lights, the Paricutin Volcano, and the harbor of Rio de Janeiro. Each of these is beautiful and awe-inspiring in its own way, and the author's inclusion of information about how pollution and modern life are chipping away at these beauties strikes a cautionary note. I closed the book wanting to know and see more, even though there were bits of information about how some of the wonders got their Anglo names.
