Great children’s book on medieval times & the life they led. ( )

This short book with its magazine-style layout is excellent for referencing short and concise info from medieval times. The illustrations are superb. ( )

The Eyewitness Medieval Life is a great learning tool for elementary to junior high students to learn about this prior time. The facts are presented in a non-threatening way and there are plenty of beautiful pictures to complement the text. The language is not to scholarly so it is simple enough for young readers to grasp the information. There is a glossary at the back so when a reader comes across an unfamiliar term the reader may get the definition and context. ( )

great pictorial resource for everyday life in medieval northern Europe. I could wish for more detailed captions, and notations of which items are reconstructions and which are originals, but for its intended audience this is very good.
