Book Reviews of If I Were a Kid in Ancient China: Children of the Ancient World (If I Were a Kid in. . .)
Book Review: Good content, weak on graphics
Summary: 3 Stars
The content of this book did not disappoint me. It covers topics such as shopping, clothing, and religion. Unfortunately, the best pictures are on the cover. A lot of the pictures are almost like clip art or stylized designs, not images or drawings of real artifacts. This was rather disappointing. It is still a useful text and it is easy for second-graders to read (with the exception of some of the proper nouns). I recommend this book, but the images leave a lot to be desired.
Summary of If I Were a Kid in Ancient China: Children of the Ancient World (If I Were a Kid in. . .)
What modern boy or girl wouldn't want to be called "Precious Child," as parents in ancient China referred to their children? Or wear a beautiful silk brocade jacket, as wealthy youngsters did? Or nibble on a crunchy roasted cricket? This fun book explores every aspect of life for Chinese children "way back when," from distinctive toys like a live "pet" dragonfly to hand-made lesson books to shopping at the exciting markets or strolling down the Silk Road in search of treasures. Vivid illustrations, detailed historical background, and a glossary bring this intriguing time to life for young readers.
