This charming board book explains the human body in a series of words and pictures that easy enough to make sense to preschool boys and girls. The heavy board pages are die-cut in the shape of a smiling little boy. When kids lift the front cover, they remove his shirt and see the location of his heart. The text gives a simple explanation of how the heart pumps blood through the entire body. As kids turn successive pages, they observe the human body’s interior and learn about the functions of muscles, lungs, the skeleton, and the stomach and intestines. The book is both amusing and instructive, making special appeal to younger children’s natural curiosity about their bodies. (Ages 3-7)

This creatively designed board book is die-cut to resemble the profile of a medieval European castle. Opened, it displays both board and standard paper pages. Turning the front cover is like opening the castle gate to show the complexity of structures and in-habitants inside the castle's great stone walls. Young readers will discover workshops, towers, and ramparts for defense against attackers, courtyards, stables, living quarters, a chapel, and the grand room where the king and queen hold court. Here is a child's intro-duction to medieval history, attractively illustrated in full color, and with board pages that cut away to reveal the castle's deepest interior. Also described and illustrated are the swords and weapons of the king's army, knights in armor, jousting matches, and medie-val festivals. Kids will love this book, which can also serve as a stimulating classroom supplement. (Ages 8-12)

Life in a Medieval Castle

This absorbing picture book gives beginning readers a fascinating look into the lives of our earliest human ancestors. Each page is die-cut in the shape of its illustration's animal and terrain. Vivid color illustrations begin by showing a Neanderthal family, the cave where they live, and their stone tools and leather clothes. In succeeding pictures, boys and girls see Neanderthals hunting for their food, and gathering vegetables and fruits where they are able to find them growing wild. Children are then introduced to the first Homo Sapiens (modern humans) and are shown how they differed from Neanderthals. Concluding pictures show Homo Sapiens as they developed crafts and arts, constructed tents for shelter, tamed animals, and developed agriculture, villages, and distinct cultures. With easy to understand text and vivid illustrations on extra-heavy board pages, this sturdily constructed book introduces the fundamentals of archaeology to younger boys and girls, describing how modern archaeologists discover clues to the origins of human history.

Life In The Prehistoric Age

History

Color illustrations on heavy board pages are die-cut in the shape of the front cover’s jaunty little pirate. Accompanied by brief text, the pictures tell the fascinating story of pirates, their exploits, and their ships. The most famous and notorious pirates were those like Blackbeard and Henry Morgan who sailed the Caribbean in the seventeenth century. Vivid illustrations include a depiction of a sailing galleon in cross-section, showing ship’s compartments and cargo. Also shown are a typical pirate’s treasure map and a map of Tortuga island, a favorite pirate’s haven. Kids can read capsule descriptions of famous pirates from both history and classic fiction.
