By A Customer

This review is from: Marco Polo (Discovery Biographies) (Library Binding)

This is an excellent series that teaches history to the 8-12year old child. The book is excellently written, 96 pages with blackand white sketches along the way.

...we are very impressed at thecontent and reading style of this series. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good enough but leaves a lot out, April 2, 2009

This review is from: Marco Polo (Paperback)

I read 2 chapters of this each night to my 6 & 3 year old boys and they looked forward to it. That says a lot! There are pictures about every 3rd page, which is wonderful! This is a basic bio of Marco Polo's life. I found it to be pretty bland and wished Mr. Graves had gone into more detail about exciting events rather than gloss over Polo's life. I guess you can only squeeze so much into one story.
