Review: Used for school - I use it for extra information for homeschool. The kiddos enjoyed listening Review: Fun projects! - This book offers great projects that are unique and different from the usual color-cut-paste variety. Each chapter focuses on a particular topic (e.g. ruler, route, and/or explorer) with the projects to follow. We use this as part of our homeschool curriculum this year and love it!

Wonderful addition to your home library.
Explorers of the New World combines concise and informative reading with engaging and instructive artistic projects. We checked this out from our library and max out our renewal limit, but we wanted more time with this book.
