Book Description
Marco Polo was seventeen when he set out for China . . . and forty-one when he came back! More than seven hundred years ago, Marco Polo traveled from the medieval city of Venice to the fabled kingdom of the great Kublai Khan, seeing new sights and riches that no Westerner had ever before witnessed. But did Marco Polo experience the things he wrote about . . . or was it all made-up? Young readers are presented with the facts in this entertaining, highly readable Who Was . . . ? biography with black-and-white artwork by John O?Brien.

Nine-year-old's favorite in the series, Oct 17 2007
By Denise Punger MD IBCLC "author of Permission ... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Who Was Marco Polo? (Paperback)
I agree with reviewers who commented on other books in this series-- these are an excellent introduction to biographies and chapter books. My husband and I have read almost all of these "Who was..." books to our now 11 and 9 year old over the past year. I find them easy to read aloud and appropriately illustrated. They lead our family to deeper discussion of the person or history and politics of the time. Marco Polo is my nine-year-olds favorite bio. I found the Einstein bio to be very interesting, my husband like Darwin, my three-year-old liked Edison, and my nine-year-old son's favorite was Annie Oakley.

This review is from: Who Was Marco Polo? (Paperback)
We used this book in our Home-schooling program and found it very informative and a guide in preparing a lesson plan on explorers. If you want a quick "tell me something about this guy," this book is very helpful. Would I do it again? Absolutely.
