Stellar book about the Renaissance for grades 4-10. I enjoyed it as an adult. The approach is to view the Renaissance times thru a current lens. If one goes back in time, how is that era different ? What were their achievements in architecture ? What did they eat and where did they sleep ? How was their housing different and where was the bathroom ? Who were the Medici's ? Why was banking important ? What did they eat and why ? What are guilds and how did they come about ? It goes on from there.The amazing thing is that the book is not foppish and trite. It does not speak down to the reader as if they are young or ignorant. Nor does it feel a need to be pedantic. There is a simple, direct style with a dash of sly humor here and there. And the philosophical views are balanced. There is not a judgemental tone or an attempt to push any politically correct agenda. Only what happened, how it contrasts with today, and some of the reasons why it was that way at that time in history.I don't know if the whole series is this good, but this book is and the author Anna Claybourne, or her editors, made it a very worthwhile read.The book would make a good read-aloud for grades 1/2 to 4/5.
