We've long been fans of Chicago Review Press' "for Kids" series. Each of these includes not just excellent biographical sketches (and some very interesting anecdotes), but also hands-on, practical activities (games, recipes, construction projects) that are directly tied to the subject's life.

This newest biography is no exception. One of England's most fascinating monarchs is brought to life in this hands-on study for young minds. Combining projects, pictures, and sidebars with an authoritative biography, children will develop an understanding of the Reformation, Shakespearean England, and how Elizabeth's 45-year reign set the stage for the English Renaissance and marshaled her country into a chief military power. Providing 21 activities, from singing a madrigal and growing a knot garden to creating a period costume--complete with a neck ruff and a cloak for the queen's court--readers will experience a sliver of life in the Elizabethan age. For those who wish to delve deeper, a time line, online resources, and a reading list are included to aid in further study.

Perfect for homeschools, private schools, co-ops, & tutorials. The target age group is kids 10-13, but both older and younger will enjoy this book as well. paperback, 129 pages.
