This book has wonderful illustraitons with lift up flaps that give you information on the outfit. For every Era they show what a woman would wear, what a man would wear, what a girl would wear and what a boy would wear. They do more than just describe one layer of clothes. If you lift up a shawl for example they will describe it. Then you lift up the dress and read the discription then you lift up the petticoats and read the discription. An added bonus is that there are facts and mini drawings all around tha pages borders.

I LOVE this book. I've reciently used it in school to do a big project on Elizabethan fashion and it help me get an A+ on it. If your looking for a GREAT book to use on a project or just a COOL book to read then THIS is the book for you!

This book was perfect for what I wanted to use it for, to provide a time frame of history for my young child. Fashion has a bit more flare than wars, plus the "fold out" clothes make the book even more interesting for a kid.
