Trade Review
I really like the approach taken by the book -- it makes history enjoyable, accessible and relevant. It is well-written and excellently illustrated, and poses questions that will encourage children to think about their learning * Parents In Touch *
Delightful as an information source and an entertaining read ... a most satisfying approach to history for young children * School Librarian *
