Description
Illus. in full color. The 15th century comes alive on this splendidly original picture book about Christopher Columbus. “The illustrations, executed in a number of media, show scenes from the explorer’s life in addition to a few imaginary creatures that populated the Europeans’ picture of the outdoor world at the moment. The main points on each and every page invite individual readers to pay close attention, however the brief, clear text and framed illustrations lend themselves equally well to group sharing. Make room for your crowded Columbus shelf for this one.”–(starred) School Library Journal.
