| 5. | ![]() | You Wouldn't Want to Be an Aztec Sacrifice: Gruesome Things You'd Rather Not Know
from Childrens Press
Price: $22.04
Customer Review:
Another funny yet useful book that teaches children about history that is part of the "You wouldn't want to be" series. The illustrations are comical but hardly accurate. I don't believe the illustrators intent was historical accuracy but rather to capture the funny bone and imagination of the young... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I'm an adult, but I found this book very helpful in the study about the Aztecs. The illustrations really help to bring the period to life. It covers some mature topics though, like human sacrifice that I hope won't disturb kids reading this book. A great overview about the conquest of Mexico. | 5.0 / 5.0
