Redefining History, September 13, 2004
This review is from: The Middle Ages: A Watts Guide for Children (Watts Reference) (Paperback)
Beware of the glorification of Islam and Muslims. Perhaps, "Islam in the Middle Ages" would more accurately describe the focus of the editor.
As a teacher who appreciates the integration of fine art with history, this books good use of such would have been more greatly appreciated if credit would have been given to the artists.

Reference Book, August 19, 2009
This review is from: The Middle Ages: A Watts Guide for Children (Watts Reference) (Paperback)
One hundred articles organized encyclopedia-style, with photos and illustrations. Heavy on text, but the text is well written for middle and high schoolers. Useful as a reference, but not for entertainment. Grades 6-12.
