Review
Osborne manages to pack a lot of history and fascinating facts in this non-fiction companion to one of her Magic Treehouse books (#14,Day of the Dragon King). Starting with an overview of the geography, thought, and organizations of dynasties and concluding with daily life in China today, this book is hard to put down. Elementary students can use it for reports or to gain further knowledge about not only the ancient Chinese world in which Annie and Jack find themselves in the fiction book, but also about the legacy of the Chinese throughout history and the world. An easy purchase for any library.
Overall Book Score: very good
