explorers ready?

f you want to know more about explorers this is the book for you. The book starts out by letting you know all the prep work an explorer does before setting out. Then there is a section on early explorers. Next we read about the search fro trade routes and explorers who wanted to fin new territory. The final section is all about the scientific end of exploring. Also included are maps, time lines, a glossary and an index. Very nice illustrations on every page making the book lots of fun to look at. Excellent for young children who have an interest in the explorers.
