Jacqueline MorleyReseñas

I read this for the "An Author You Previously Disliked" part of my 2020 reading challenge. It was better than the last book I read, it displayed the information better and had a nicer layout. It was informative, but not overly gripping.

The US edition changes the spelling to "Theater" from the English "Theatre". This book was published when the new Globe was under construction. It tells a brief history of the theatre, with special focus on the development of theatre in the middle ages and up through Shakespeare's time. The featured illustration is of the Globe, rather disastrously on fire. It lasted for 15 years and burned down rather near the end of Shakespeare's career. Includes some nice illustrated maps, and cutaways of theatre interiors.

Using the second person, the text puts the reader in place of a poor Chinese farmer in 215 B.C. Illustrations feature realistic settings peopled with cartoonish figures, but there is plenty of accurate history. Table of Contents, Glossary, Index.

I read this for the "About A World Leader" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I didn't love it, the art style was too cartoony and overwhelming, and while the facts may have been accurate they weren't presented in a way that will make me remember them.

Great children’s book about medieval times & the living conditions in medieval times castles.

The cartons are funny.The history is right .What else is no to love about this book .Not only did it intriguer me interest in how to build a pyramid.It also taught me how the life of a pyramid builder were .How they lived and only worked on the pyramid with the flooding season happened in Egypt.It also taught me not to work with a dull chisel and how the pyramid builders where worked till sundown everyday .Also how they got word to everything that was happening the the Kingdom to the King.By One person telling their higher official until word got the the king .Every day they did the same thing .

Viking Myths tells the stories of creation as a Viking would tell the tales. This book can be compared and contrasted to other stories of creation in the classroom.

This was a very interesting book and would love to read it again. I would recommend this book to teachers and curios kids.I would personally use this to teach kids. My favorite parts were the interesting facts and cool pictures. I would recommend this to people who have decided to home school. This was a very easy way to grip very interesting facts. I cant wait to read more of these kids of books.

This was a very interesting book about a traveler of the world. First it talked about how Marco-Polo was traveling the world and found a person to travel with. The person traveled with him was a big fan of him. Then it talked about how they met a king and the king wanted a wife. Marco-Polo got a wife for the king of Japan and the was happy. After, they went home for about two years and then started traveling again. They had many different and many more journeys after they went home.

The book, “You wouldn't want to be an american colonist,” deserves full credit. It had a good overview of being an american colonist, by showing you all the different things that could and would happen to you while being one. The book had nice illustrations, that were friendly and entertaining. I would definitely suggest this book to other readers. As always I did enjoy how short the book was, and how there are so many facts on just twenty-eight pages. It was a very interesting book.

Now before you say that you would have become an american colonist, let me give you an idea of what that would mean. First of all, you would be crammed onto a tiny ship, where you would stay on for six months with the other one hundred-forty-four settlers. You would sleep on the floor of the lower deck, knowing that the Atlantic Ocean could sink the boat anytime. As you arrive in Virginia, you help to start a thriving colony. Still there would be some setbacks, like for example a fire could break out and burn down all the buildings, which you would now have to rebuild. As winter comes, a drought has made the crops fail. You would have eaten horses, dogs, cats, and rats. Dead bodies are buried daily, so that colonists will be able to dig them up to eat! Soon the colony grows again, and life is restored.

Fun and informative, wish I'd had this as a kid - I'd have been obsessed!

Wonderful

"You Wouldn't Want to Live in a Medieval Castle" is a delightfully informative book that middle schoolers can really sink their teeth into. It is told in the form of an introduction to castle living, addressed to the reader playing the role of a young girl living in A.D.1215 England. It covers all aspects of castle living, from the average castle day, to what happens when the Lord comes to stay, to even detailing how the castle inhabitants deal with being under siege. Castle living clearly wasn't the bed of roses depicted in "Camelot". It makes even "me" glad I live in a modern house.

An interesting and relateable book for the students, I look forward to adding this book to my classroom library.

Wonderful
