Author: Hutchinson, Frederick Winthrop
A wonderful book for introducing children to some of the great European explorers. This book was written prior to 'political correctness' so provides some excellent opportunities to discuss how views have changed. Filled with drama and adventure, this book takes young readers more deeply into the exploits of explorers like Cortez, de Soto, Champlain (and many others) than the standard textbook for primary school children. Suitable for pre-teens, or for reading to younger children.Book Price: $7.75
