Format:Hardcover
The 'famous Lives' series of books has always proved a useful tool when teaching about characters from the past.
Christopher Columbus does not disappoint. It sets out the life story of the great explorer and tells the story of Columbus discovering America in 1492.
Children aged 8 -9 could read the book themselves and used it for research when writing information texts about subjects of their choice.
Full of facts, yet child friendly.
I would recommend this to teachers who are teaching the QCA unit 19 Tudor Exploration , as it tells of life at sea and why explorers explored.
A good general resource book for top juniors.
