"These entertaining, deftly organized books will make terrific light-hearted additions to cirriculum units on ancient civilizations." — Publishers WeeklyStop the presses! What if ancient civilizations had daily newspapers? And they were amusing and compellingly informative? They might just look like this innovative series of historical nonfiction, presented in a unique, kid-friendly format.

This is a great book to use when covering the Aztec civilization. Upper elementary as well as middle school students would appreciate this book. The book is oversized and formatted like a newspaper. The articles are written from "reporters" and there are even interviews. The book also contains illustrations and advertisements which are based in historical fact. The articles appeal to boys and girls. I read this book to my fourth grade students, and they really enjoyed it. ( )
