The Usborne Time Traveler / by Judy Hindley / Very Good

The Usborne Time Traveler by Judy Hindley (with contributions from Anne Civardi, Heather Amery, Patricia Vanags, et al.) is a vivid, fully illustrated journey through four fascinating historical eras. You’ll travel back to life in a medieval castle during the Crusades, join fearsome Viking raiders on their longships, walk the bustling streets of ancient Rome, and sail along the Nile during the age of the Pharaohs. Every section is packed with rich detail about what people wore, how they lived, how cities were built, what jobs existed, and what children did for fun — all written in friendly, engaging language that’s ideal for ages ~ 8-11. If you want a history book that feels like stepping into time — one that teaches through story, pictures, and daily life — this one delivers.
