3.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing Effort, February 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marco Polo: A Journey Through China (Expedition) (Paperback)
Fiona MacDonald and Mark Bergen have written and illustrated countless children's historical books. They can usually be counted upon to deliver a great children's book. Yet, "Marco Polo: A Journey Through China" does not deliver to their usual high standards. Although Fiona MacDonald is a fine writer, her narrative is disrupted by the use of distracting panels. These panels running along the top and bottom of the page are fussy and take away from the flow of her story. The illustrations by Mark Bergen are also dissapointing. They look slap dash in composition and lack the attention to detail that one usually expects in his work. I think that John Riddle and Robert Ingpen do a much better job of retelling Marco Polo' story in "Great Names-Marco Polo".
