Ten Explorers Who Changed the World

10 Explorers Who Changed the World is about ten different
explorers and the adventures they had. It tells facts you
probably all ready knew about the explorers and facts that
you might not be able to find in a textbook. After each
story about the explorer there is a Life Link. A Life Link
tells you how the explorer you read about and the next
explorer are related. For example, after a short story
about Marco Polo there is a Life Link that tells how The
Travels of Marco Polo inspired Christopher Columbus.

This book is well written. I loved the amount of
graphics and captions that there were. The illustrator is
very talented and did a very good job illustrating this
book. I would recommend this book for those who like
history and adventure. I think the Life Links were very
interesting and a good idea. This book would also be a
good reference source for children in fourth, fifth, or
sixth grade to use for a report about
explorers.
