Ming's Adventure with the Terracotta Army Summary

Ming's Adventure with the Terracotta Army: A Terracotta Army General 'Souvenir' comes alive and swoops Ming away! by Li Jian

This beautifully illustrated multicultural children's book tells a story about China's most famous archeological site-the terracotta soldiers of Xi'an.

When a special exhibition of terracotta warriors comes to town, Ming and his mother go to see them at the museum. To remember this exciting event, Ming's mother buys him a little figurine of a General to keep in his room at home. But at midnight, Ming wakes up and finds the General figurine is alive and he has a copper carriage ready to take Ming to his home in Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Tomb in Xi'an, China. In this mysterious underground world over 2,000 years old, Ming meets the General's army of terracotta warriors.

Ming's Adventure with the Terracotta Army Reviews

I love this gently told adventure, appropriate for even young children, and how it easily incorporates factual information into the story. Ming learns quite a bit about the army as he plays with the general, but there is even more detailed information included as well, separated from the main text by a distinctive font. The artwork is lovely, bringing the clay figures to life and capturing the intricate details of the soldiers' uniforms. Really wonderful book to introduce children to this archaeological wonder and get them excited about their next trip to the museum! -AllDoneMonkey.com blog
