Myths and legends tend to overshadow the many other aspects of the innovative Aztec civilization. Aztec clothes, festivals, foods, and sports are just some of the topics that readers will discover. Each subject is complimented by a step-by-step craft that readers can construct with just a few simple materials. Projects, such as a straw flute, shoestring necklace, and paper pottery, support key concepts concerning the Aztec culture. The crafts easy-to-follow instructions are supported by clear illustrations, while vibrant photographs enhance the main text. Readers will appreciate the rich legacy of this important culture and reflect on the ways it has left a permanent mark on Mexican and American traditions."

This series on ancient civilizations is packed with colorful photos, maps, and drawings, quick facts about each culture, and dozens of craft ideas and projects. Packed, being the operative word. The layout feels crowded and busy and there's a disconnect being the level of reading required to decode all the foreign or cultural words (at least 5th-grade reading level) and the skill level needed to complete most of the crafts (probably only 2nd-3rd grade). Some of the crafts do encourage higher level thinking - mapping your own Roman empire or making your own Chinese compass from the Qin dynasty - but most are "token" crafts, or crafts meant for walking away with a necklace, a figurine, a mask, or the like. Each book possesses a glossary, index, additional sources page, and a final writing exercise (the latter represents the most challenging of the "crafts" in these books). (
