Good overview of the Aztecs

This is a great children's introduction to the Aztecs. The book describes basic history (where they were originally from, when they arrived in Mexico City, how they built their empire, and how they were defeated by the Spanish Conquistadors). Much emphasis is put on their religion (which involved lots of human sacrifice) and war culture, as well as the interaction between Aztecs and the Spanish Conquistadors. There are a lot of beautiful color photos of Aztec art and other artifacts. The book is easy to read and excellent for kids ages 8-11.
