1-3Good Times Travel Agency series.
Illustrated by
Bill Slavin.
Opening a travel guidebook from a decrepit travel agency, three children are transported through time. Once at their destination, the children must read the entire book before they can return to their own era. Though gimmicky, this ploy is effective, partly because of the entertaining narrative and humorous cartoon-style illustrations with speech balloons, and partly because of the select, accessible information about the eras.
