Crusades Explained for Kids: The English Reading Tree

An absorbing and factual look at the Crusades

The Crusades were fought for control of the Holy Land and Jerusalem, and lasted for over two hundred years during the Middle Ages.

From the fall of Jerusalem to the Seljuk Turks, the sacking of Constantinople and the Last Crusade, this book is packed with trivia, images and interesting information that will entertain and educate young, curious minds.

There is a quiz at the end to test how much has been learned.

Excellent books that not only improve reading ability but educate.

Very well presented, and I particularly enjoyed the quiz at the end.

Simple, easy to read, and full of interesting facts. What more can a parent ask?

With less emphasis on pictures and more emphasis on reading and developing initial reading vocabulary, this series will capture the imagination of most kids and encourage them to read more. The large print makes the reading more inviting. Parental assistance will be needed to help with new words.
