The Aztec and Mayan Worlds
Journey back through time to Central America and explore the Maya and Aztec civilizations before the arrival of European explorers. These outwardly brutal and warlike people were also deeply spiritual craftspeople and artists. These great civilizations are gone, but readers can explore their legacy with the Step Into guide's bright, colorful illustrations and photographs and hands-on arts and crafts projects.

Series Review: Passport to the Past"Readers are immersed in ancient cultures through kaleidoscopic viewings of relevant peoples, buildings, religions, clothes, languages, and means of sustenance. Spreads cover a subtopic each and generally contain a couple of paragraphs in addition to numerous bright, captioned photographs and reproductions, and, on the bottom, timelines and crafts. The images are set against just the right amount of white space, helping to make this series attractive and youth friendly..."
