These stories are designed to connect students with an event, person, or idea imporant in world history. Some give famous happenings a new twist. Others are jokes or intriguing bits of information.

Tell your students about the three-million-year-old Ethiopian skeleton named after a Beatles' song... how Mayan traders counterfeited cocoa beans to use as money... or why U.S. B-26s painted to look like Cuban planes failed to do the trick in the Bay of Pigs invasion.

The wide selection lets you choose just the right piece of information to enliven any history course or interdisciplinary study with world history content. Grades 6-9. 278 pages, softcover.
