Kris said Not worth the money. I purchased this book to get my kids excited about a trip to see the Mayan ruins. The book only had about one page that even showed a picture of a Mayan city and the story was weak. Maybe OK for a REALLY young child but doesn't have any educational content for an older child. Plus side was that it only cost about $5.. terrific Mario's Mayan Journey is a great book. It has a very realistic story and terrific pictures. I read it just a few weeks before going to the Mayan ruins.. Love it! I really love this book, and I use it in many of my classes. It gives a lot practical infomation about ancient Mayan times in a fun way for kids to enjoy!
Mario awoke with a start, and when he went outside, two Mayan children were waiting for him. Join Mario and his friends as they explore the land of the ancient Maya. Full color.
