I have been quite a fan of these Captivating Books For Kids since I have joined the review team. Each one has been refreshing and allows the reader into a world whether it is quite familiar or quite exotic to them. And the exotic was the case for me with the Aztecs for although I have studied their mythoi I have been a bit remiss on the cultural side.
The book starts off by introducing the reader to the Aztec as a whole and then starts by diving into the details such as exploring the Mexica people who would later become the Aztec. It explains to the reader how their religious beliefs led them from a nomadic tribe to the tribal powerhouse that they would then become. It explores their religious beliefs, their art, their culture including the darker aspects that we now frown up on and of course their history, which led to their downfall. And of course the book explores what the Aztecs left behind.
Like all the other books in the series the book's text is interspersed with fun facts, which are relative to the information that they interrupt into. Furthermore there are bright colored photographs, maps and artistic replicas to illustrate the book although I was tickled they had a reenactment with a face mask, which isn't true to form.
And like most of the other books in this series there are games and activities but found in the back of the book for those who are interested in. The majority are questions whose answers can be easily found within the text.
Furthermore I am also quite excited that the book did choose to include a pronunciation guide for most of the Aztec names and other names included in the book. I just wish that all the names were given pronunciations and possibly even tucked into a back glossary to make it easier to flip to it when I come upon that name again in the text.
Otherwise I would strongly recommend this book and most of the other ones in the series for those who are into history whether they are young or old as it is a fast yet informative read.

Captivating History always releases great books, and Aztec History for Kids is no different! As I read through this book, I found a fun way to get kids interested in history!
Learn about the Aztec's daily way of life, warfare, food, religion, and so much more! Each chapter breaks down the information with an easy to read format, yet even adults are going to find this book fun to read through! The illustrations are well done, and you can test your knowledge of what you learned in the book with a fun quiz at the end!
But this book takes a different look at the Aztecs as well. Some of their art is still very important in Mexico today. Their influence and importance has not waned - even after their collapse.
Read through this book from their beginnings to the Spanish Conquest, and get to know the Aztec Civilization like never before.
Keep history fun and interesting for kids - this book is a great way to jump in!

Please note: I was given a copy of this book and have voluntarily decided to give it this honest review.
This is another book in the series of history books aimed towards children. It’s a thin paperback book, making it easy to carry anywhere. It has 66 pages, 10 chapters, and a bibliography which lists websites and books. At the end of the book is a section, Games and Activities, that has nine questions with the answers. This is a fun way to check comprehension skills as well as vocabulary skills. The book has over 40 colored illustrations, photographs, and maps, which are labeled.
The Aztec Empire lasted from 1345 CE until 1531 CE, almost 200 years. Aztecs were skilled builders building pyramids, palaces, temples, and even stadiums. They were also skilled in arts, poetry, ceramics, and textiles. They invented a calendar and writing system. They had an educational system where all boys and girls attended school. The book goes on to show you what the daily life of the Aztecs was like, who their gods and goddesses were, what their religious practices were, and how the population was divided into different classes. The book ends with how the Spanish conquistadors, led by Hernan Cortes, were able to defeat the Aztec Empire in 1531. A short, fun book to read!
