Explorer Tales

Explorer Tales series.
This simply written, high-interest book is light on content, but the topic of the Amazon River region may grab some reluctant readers' attention (although the series title is misleading). The pages are busy with color photos, archival images, captions, and "Do You Know?" boxes with facts and some trivia: "The king of El Dorado was painted with gold dust." Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
