Customer Reviews

Excellent picture book for a peek into the middle ages!

Both my children (ages four and nine) love this book! It has great visuals and excellent explantions about questions kids ask. Of course, they loved reading about how people didn't bath and threw their waste out the windows! They argue over who gets to read it in the car. We paid much more for the book in England! I would also recommend this book for older students (grades 4-8) with limited reading abilities
