Stories from History
If you gave your child a choice between reading a comic book and a history book, they would most likely grab the comic book and dig right in. This great series uses the format of a comic book (with captions, speech bubbles, and colorful graphics) to bring true, historical stories to children in a way they will enjoy and remember. A surprising amount of information is shared in the text boxes and speech bubbles and kids will learn historical facts without even realizing it. Many different topics and people are covered, so whether you want your child to learn about building the pyramids, discovering the first Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils, the "games" that took place in the Roman Colosseum, or the lives of people like Christopher Columbus and Anne Frank, you're sure to find a book your student will enjoy. 48 pgs each, pb. ~ Rachel
