Customer Reviews

Good enough but leaves a lot out

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.

Junior World Explorers Series - Marco Polo

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.
