Aztecs
October 13th, 2009Aztecs is an Usborne Beginners Social Studies book by Catriona Clarke. This 32 history book is great for children ages 6 years and up. This book is an Usborne Internet referenced book (IR) so, after you read this book, you can find out even more about the Aztecs online. There are four fun websites. One website will show you a 3-D model of Tenochtitlan, another has an Aztec song you can listen to, and more. These websites are fun to visit. Although this book is a Level 2 book which means it contains slightly more advanced content and text than Level 1 books and it is great for children ages between 6 years old and 8 years old, even younger children will love reading this book and they will also love the colorful illustrations in it.
