I have been quite a fan of these Captivating Books For Kids since I have joined the review team。 Each one has been refreshing and allows the reader into a world whether it is quite familiar or quite exotic to them。 And the exotic was the case for me with the Aztecs for although I have studied their mythoi I have been a bit remiss on the cultural side。 The book starts off by introducing the reader to the Aztec as a whole and then starts by diving into the details such as exploring the Mexica peo I have been quite a fan of these Captivating Books For Kids since I have joined the review team。 Each one has been refreshing and allows the reader into a world whether it is quite familiar or quite exotic to them。 And the exotic was the case for me with the Aztecs for although I have studied their mythoi I have been a bit remiss on the cultural side。 The book starts off by introducing the reader to the Aztec as a whole and then starts by diving into the details such as exploring the Mexica people who would later become the Aztec。 It explains to the reader how their religious beliefs led them from a nomadic tribe to the tribal powerhouse that they would then become。 It explores their religious beliefs， their art， their culture including the darker aspects that we now frown up on and of course their history， which led to their downfall。 And of course the book explores what the Aztecs left behind。 Like all the other books in the series the book's text is interspersed with fun facts， which are relative to the information that they interrupt into。 Furthermore there are bright colored photographs， maps and artistic replicas to illustrate the book although I was tickled they had a reenactment with a face mask， which isn't true to form。 And like most of the other books in this series there are games and activities but found in the back of the book for those who are interested in。 The majority are questions whose answers can be easily found within the text。 Furthermore I am also quite excited that the book did choose to include a pronunciation guide for most of the Aztec names and other names included in the book。 I just wish that all the names were given pronunciations and possibly even tucked into a back glossary to make it easier to flip to it when I come upon that name again in the text。 Otherwise I would strongly recommend this book and most of the other ones in the series for those who are into history whether they are young or old as it is a fast yet informative read。 **Please note I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review** 。。。more
