For parents who want their kids to READ and learn, unplugged and undistracted. Spark curiosity over the winter break.
Two books that tell history with humor and illustrations.
Take both for $12.
The Time Traveler (hardcover)
The Time Traveler focuses in on four specific civilizations in history and examines in detail the daily lives and activities of those who could have lived during that time. Puts a more human face on studying history. Interesting text and captivating illustrations (in typical Usborne style!).
The Iliad and The Odyssey by Marcia Williams (softcover)
A children's book that retells Homer's classic Greek epics in a comic-strip format, making them accessible and fun for young readers. This book engaged my children K-7. It is a great introduction to draw kids to the adventure of Homer’s epic poems. The illustrations are engaging and the comics can be laugh out loud silly.
