Ages 6-10 Finding out about History has never been so much fun! My First Amazing History Explorer takes history off the bookshelf and brings it to life. An invaluable introduction to history, the disc combines insight into the past with a sense of playful adventure, transporting children back through time to past worlds, such as the great Roman Empire and the high mountain home of the Incas. A stolen map must be retrieved from the energetic Time Fugitive, who dares you to try to catch him in each historical location. Children will be drawn in by the variety of historical worlds and will delight in tracking the Fugitive through time. Sound, animations, games, and activities breathe life into history, while a wealth of informative and captivating text provides an indispensable reference for any young historian.
