A very remarkable book written in the 13th century. Many secrets were reviled when Marco returned. And may interesting explanations of things like the origin of cinnamon.

Customer Review:
I agree with reviewers who commented on other books in this series-- these are an excellent introduction to biographies and chapter books.

from Chicago Review Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
This has to be one of the best activity / history combinations I have yet seen. I used this book as curriculum for my homeschool, 4th, 5th & 7th grades. My two highschool age kids have even joined in the fun.
There are fairly complex activities, such as weaving a wall hanging, and less... more info

from Little Brown & Co (T)

Customer Review:
This book takes what many would consider a mid level drug dealer and the search for him across the world - hence the "Marco Polo" tag. Well the villain here is not that bad so it is hard to get excited about the chase. He is no choirboy to be sure, but he is not a Pablo Escobar either. The detail of... more info

Customer Review:
Rolf's other book, Vagabonding, is a must-have guide for anyone interested in travel, regardless of age, intended destination, length of trip, or particular travel philosophy.

10.Adventures of Marco PoloAdventures of Marco Polo
from Arthur A. Levine Books
Price: $12.23

Customer Review:
The artwork is beautiful and includes reproductions from medieval illuminated versions. (It's extremely annoying that you can't search inside the book, so you'll have to take my word for it.) The approach is sophisticated, leaving as an open question whether Marco Polo embroidered the truth or made... more info
