Catherine has been studying Asia the past couple of weeks, and this was one of the books she read: Animals Marco Polo Saw: An Adventure On The Silk Road, by Sandra Markle. It is a book from the Explorer Series. I was impressed with it, and will look for more of this series. There was a lot of information, but it was told as a story, so it was interesting, and there were extra tips on the side. There are a lot of wonderful illustrations, generally on every other page, so the amount of print was not overwhelming. There was also a map of Marco Polo's travels at the end, as well as a small glossary.
Disclosure: If you click on the image of the book and follow the link to Amazon, making a purchase, I will receive a small commission.

I saw this at our library and I think I'm going to use it next year when we study Marco Polo.
