    If You Were Me and Live In Ancient ChinaIF YOU WERE ME AND LIVED IN … AN INTRODUCTION TO CIVILIZATIONS THROUGHOUT TIME

Roman, thanks to you, it is time for readers to hop aboard their time travel machines. Where will they go first? Readers will learn about things like housing, land, cooking, diet, clothing, and the jobs and hobbies people had in different times. Questions are often asked to inspire deeper thinking and encourage young learners to look for changes between the historical period and our current times. The end pages usually include more specific information about the importance of the time period itself, a list and brief biography of famous people, and a glossary of foreign words.

    Discover Ancient Greece, Renaissance Italy, Elizabethan England, Colonial America, Ancient China, American West, and the Middle Ages.

      My grand daughter loves to read about history. I saw your books on the book review, called the library and they didn’t have them. Childrens librarian looked them up and decided to order them for the library. Just picked up our first one this week and she loved it. Can’t wait to share more with her, and so glad they are now in our library system for others to enjoy.

      Hard to say. It depends what they are exposed to. Maybe Africa in the 1800s and early 1900s when there were large herd of all kinds of animals to see and hear during a safari.
