DESCRIPTION:
Written in graphic-novel format.. Tells the story of Marco Polo's journey to China, describing some of the things he saw while in the service of Kublai Khan
The illustrations make cunning use of Aztec glyphs, but otherwise add no new information. 4-6. From Booklist Reviewed with David West's Hernan Cortes.Gr. All rights reserved. Both series cling to popular social-science topics, with an eye toward multiculturalism (e.g., both offer volumes about Harriet Tubman), and though the individual volumes have been created by diverse authors and illustrators, the series themselves each have a consistent look and feel. A good representative of the series, it uses a broad approach to its subject's life and achievemen
Five Stars nice book. "Fact or fiction?" according to Enrique Torres. This book is a good place to start for the young student who is assigned to write a report about Marco Polo. As part of the outstanding Capstone's Graphic History set, the story line jumps to life. The result is a fast-paced, short concise introduction to an interesting controversial(did he exist?)historical figure who explored China. The four chapters present the basics about Marco Polo and the student is guided to research further through suggested internet sites via facthound.com and books like The Life and Times of Marco Polo (Biography from Ancient Civi. Lynn Ellingwood said Graphic Marco Polo. This is a good book about Marco Polo in a graphic format. The graphic format allows my ESOL students to read English at an easy level while learning history. Since many of my students are Chinese, they love Marco Polo and anything else I can provide them about China. I can learn some Chinese from them, and they learn in English.
