I love the design, layout, and illustrations in this book. Originally I borrowed this book for my nine year old to read to support our study of Medieval Africa, but I liked it so much that I had my twelve year old read it too!
Mr. Rumford shares the adventures and sights of Ibn Battuta as he travels from Morocco to China. Ancient Arab maps and exquisite illustrations only enhance this book.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
Comprehension idea: (Both my sons did this.) With a Venn diagram, compare/contrast Ibn Battuta's travels/adventures to Marco Polo's.
