Review:
We had just watched a show that featured Machu Picchu, and Peru, so it was great timing to be able to open this book and delve into the culture and country! Miss Grace was enchanted with a library with books from the 1500's and a drink made from purple corn (chicha).. And she was happy to learn that the llamas she loved on her school field trip came from Peru!
Course when she saw the picture of the El Circuito Mágico del Agua.fountain, she wanted us to make one in the backyard! This was a fun book, with lots of great new things for Miss Grace to learn! We highly recommend it- Miss Grace said it was her favorite so far in the series!
Be sure to check out the series game page for coloring posters, paper dolls and bookmarks, to really enrich the fun from this series of books!
