Review: Great - A wonderful film.
Review: artwork is from ancient artifacts - I ordered several books on the Maya & haven't had time to fully read this one, but have skimmed it. But based on another review, I did look at the pictures before I shared it with my kids. These are not illustrations: much of the artwork is photographs of ancient sculptures, wall paintings and masks. These are how the ancient Mayans depicted themselves, not how a modern artist has drawn them. There is one illustration that looks like it is modern, but it is describing ancient Mayan society & is very much in keeping with the style of the photographs of the original artifacts. Other than that one illustration, the photos that are not of artifacts are of modern Mayan people, housing, or ruins of Mayan sites. My skim of the text is that it seems very informative & I like that they give pronunciation of difficult words. It looks like a colorful, informative book that I look forward to reading with my kids. I think for the price & the attention span of the intended audience, it seems very good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Resource
*by A***R on July 26, 2023*

This resource was a significant part of my unit with the same content. I teach the gifted and talented students. I wanted to enrich my student's learning, and I could do that with the help of this workbook. Not to mention that it was easy to add an extension project to their learning.
