Reviews
Setting the bar at an uncommonly low level, this series offers information that ranges from simplistic or totally irrelevant (the time line in Aztec includes 1600s: People from Europe start to settle in North America) to ludicrous (Medieval Knights states that Fighting on piggyback was good training for fighting on horseback). This is supplemented by a motley and often randomly placed assortment of photographs showing relevant locations and costumed reconstructions, and charging warriors rendered in an amateurish comic-book style. Each volume ends with a crude nonweapon craft. -John Peters, formerly at New York Public Library School Library Journal November 2010-- School Library Journal This series is a must for any elementary school that has a unit on warriors. Each volume gives a simple, yet factual description of the warriors covered. These books would be excellent for a social studies lesson with interdisciplinary opportunities and for research projects in the lower elementary grades. Each volume is very colorful and includes a map showing where the warriors were based, a timeline, a succinct place and date sidebar, intriguing Did you know?: sidebars, an arts and crafts activity, glossary, and a Find Out More section with additional resources including books and websites. This series will not disappoint. Index. -Stacy Rosenthal, Librarian, Council Rock High School South, Holland, Pennsylvania Library Media Connection November/December 2010 Issue-- Library Media Connection
