Description
“Pages of History: Volume One, Secrets of the Ancients and Volume Two, Blazing New Trails are hardcover books that use a time-travel story approach to cover world history. The books function like chapter books because of the underlying story of time travelers James and Lance and the predicaments in which they find themselves. Our heroes are joined by talking birds and cats and other odd characters. These “unhistorical” characters plus the time travel device make for lively story telling rather than dry history. Both books are well written and should make great read-aloud stories for the family while they also teach a great deal of history.
The colorful covers on the hardcover editions and occasional black-and-white illustrations add visual interest, while the relatively large font and layout of the text itself makes it easy on the eyes. Children about fourth grade and up should be able to read the books themselves.” – Cathy Duffy Reviews
