Today I have two new children’s books from Carole P. Roman.
First, If you were me and lived in…the
Mayan Empire where this ancient society and culture from the Yucatan
Peninsula is explored. In this book, Ms. Roman discusses daily life and
rituals, the foods the Mayans cultivated and ate as well as the structure of
the classes and the jobs everyone had. There is even a section which discusses
that the lasting contributions to the world that the Mayans left behind. Such
as the concept of zero in mathematics and their calendar.
Second, If you were me
and lived in…Germany is an exploration of the European nation. The sights
and sounds of the capital and largest city, Berlin. The foods which are common
in German households and the famous festivals such as Oktoberfest. Readers will learn about the beautiful castle which are located in Germany, even the castle which inspired Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland.
I enjoyed learning about the Mayan Empire which was
instrumental to life as we know it today. I also enjoyed getting to know life
in the beautiful country of Germany. These books will teach children about life
in the past and life in a present country. They will realize that people may
live in different countries but they may like and enjoy the same things they
do. Both books are excellent additions to the If you were me and lived in… series. I highly recommend both books
and the other books in the series to any family and classroom library.
If you were me and lived in...The Mayan Empire
and
If you were me and lived in...Germany
are available on Amazon
in paperback and on the Kindle
