The Aztecs (Crafts from the Past) by Jessica Cohn

WHOLE SERIES REVIEW: Crafts from the Past

This series on ancient civilizations is packed with colorful photos, maps, and drawings, quick facts about each culture, and dozens of craft ideas and projects. Packed, being the operative word. The layout feels crowded and busy and there's a disconnect being the level of reading required to decode all the foreign or cultural words (at least 5th-grade reading level) and the skill level needed to complete most of the crafts (probably only 2nd-3rd show more grade). Some of the crafts do encourage higher level thinking - mapping your own Roman empire or making your own Chinese compass from the Qin dynasty - but most are "token" crafts, or crafts meant for walking away with a necklace, a figurine, a mask, or the like. Each book possesses a glossary, index, additional sources page, and a final writing exercise (the latter represents the most challenging of the "crafts" in these books). show less
