Book Two: Roaming Through Italy

Beschreibung

Eight-year-old Dulcie and her best friend Duke have traveled from Vietnam to Italy. Staring at a famous tower in Pisa, Dulcie wonders why it was built so wonky. When she roams around Rome, she isn't impressed by the ruined Colosseum either. To Dulcie, the past is mysterious and very far away. Thankfully, Duke's magical monkey wrench can open a doorway to any place or time. When the monkey takes Dulcie to Pompeii, an exploding volcano brings history to life! In Milan, a very famous painting seems real enough to touch. And when the friends sail through the floating city of Venice, the past seems closer than ever before. Having tried the delicious Italian food, Dulcie has only one question left. What taste of Italy will she and Duke take home? Roaming Through Italy is the second book in a series that encourages its audience to be curious about the world. When studying history at school, children often find the past dry and dusty. Full of colorful illustrations, this vibrant tale brings Italy's Roman ruins to life. Readers will be excited to learn about Pompeii, imagining how it would feel to be there in A.D. 79. They'll picture the giant Colosseum full of gladiator games. And they'll be fascinated to discover Venice, a city that hasn't changed for a thousand years. Based on the author's own experiences, this exciting storybook will give children their own passion for travel. It's essential reading for every young explorer; wherever they may be in the world.
