The Iron Age

Usborne Beginners

by Emily Bone

The Usborne Beginners series is a great introduction to non-fiction for young readers. Each book is packed with brilliant photographs and illustrations, and simple, bite-sized chunks of text. This book will show what life was like in the Iron Age — where people lived and how they grew food, what clothes they wore, what they believed in and how they defended themselves. It also covers how they made iron and shaped it into tools, weapons and many other things. Internet links via Usborne Quicklinks allow readers to discover more online, through quizzes, games, interactive maps and videos.

Reviews

[Advit Verma]

This is a good elementary level book that provides a brief about the history.

[Sannro]

Den här var verkligen jättebra. Intressant fakta, mycket för oss att prata vidare om i varje uppslag. Blandat med konst och foton från verkliga platser. Texten förmedlade spännande och bra information med var inte svårare att vi under nattning turades om att läsa vartannat uppslag högt.

Toppenbok som vi kommer låna hem igen från biblioteket.
