Tower of Babel Pop-Up & Read Book Description:
What is Babel, what happened there, and why is it so important? Many kids don’t know the answer to these questions as biblical knowledge is becoming less and less of a priority in people’s lives. This fun-format book is a great way to teach kids about the Babel story and its significance in their lives.
The full-color book explains how the different languages and “races” came about and is in a unique format with one large pop-up of the tower that stays up as you turn the pages and read the story. The stunning artwork is both beautiful and realistic, as it is based on the actual towers that were built in ancient times. This fun book is a great way to teach biblical history.

Our Thoughts:
This beautiful hardcover book uses the fun pop-up book concept. Unlike other pop-up books, it has only one pop-up at the top of the page that stays up during the entire book. The pop-up is attached to the hardcover binding and the pages of the book are below the pop-up. As with many pop-ups, the first use may require a little coaxing to get it to stay up properly during the reading portion of the book.
Each two-page layout contains full color images, a part of the story of the Tower of Babel, and the scripture reference(s) where that information can be found in the Bible. The book begins right after The Flood and explains how Noah and his family were told to multiply and fill the earth. It then tells the tale of what Noah’s family actually did and the results of their disobedience in the context of the Tower of Babel.
The book concludes by explaining how the Tower of Babel explains different people groups and how, no matter what a person’s skin color, we are all descendants of Noah and thus Adam and Eve. It then shares the salvation message with readers.
It’s a beautiful book with a powerful message.
