(4) K-3 Great Warriors series. This book provides a very brief, superficial history of the "warriors who fought...to protect their master and his land." Details such as training (beginning at age seven), weapons (ranging from bows and arrows to metal folding fans), and battle costumes may be of interest to readers. The text is accessible but choppy. The many artwork reproductions are well chosen. Reading list. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Great Warriors series. This book provides a very brief, superficial history of the "warriors who fight other people to steal treasures and ships." Details such as weapons (swords, muskets, pistols), ships, and treasures may be of interest to readers. The text is accessible but choppy; there's a passing one-sentence mention of contemporary piracy. The many artwork reproductions are well chosen. Reading list. Glos., ind.
