The Empress and the Silkworm,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Empress and the Silkworm (Hardcover)
This is a charming tale of how a Chinese empress supposedly discovered silk thread in a cocoon, which led to the making of silk cloth for imperial dress. It also tells why the Chinese kept the process a secret for 3,000 years. The book includes background information for the legend. It's a wonderful introduction to the process of silk making, and as a sixth grade teacher, I plan to use it in my teaching about China, silk making, and silk trade. Elementary and middle school children studying about China will enjoy and appreciate this book; so might adults who like wearing silk.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Empress and the Silkworm (Hardcover)
First let me say that I LOVE this book. It is an excellent addition to my 6th grade Ancient China unit. However the company that I bought it from was SO slow on their delivery. It took almost 4 weeks to get this book. By the time I received my copy, my unit was over. Thank goodness the public library had a copy! Can't wait to use it next year.
