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..."
