Book Review ~ You Wouldn't Want to Be an Inca Mummy!

From Topic 1 ~ Inca, Aztec & Mayan's

You Wouldn't Want to Be an Inca Mummy! A One-Way Journey You'd Rather Not Make by Colin Hynson

My son loved this book. Each day he would ask for it to be read first. He was as fascinated with the pictures as he was the text. This book is broken down into very small managable topics (can you say Charlotte Mason), one topic per two page spread. The graphics are cartoonish but they still manage to hold your attention and provide some light humor to a serious topic. There are a few questionable items but nothing you wouldn't also find in the Bible. Ex. The Sapa Inca's wife is also his sister. The sacrifice of children on the last two pages could easily be skipped.
Contents: society, crime and punishment, warfare, daily life, religion, after life
