Product Description

Imagine a boy who lives at a time when many people still believe the world is flat...Imagine him standing on a sea wall, gazing at the horizon and wondering, listening to merchants and sailors as they unload their cargo...Imagine him dreaming of faraway places and people, like those he's read about in The Travels of Marco Polo. Through intricate and richly detailed pictures, Peter Sis takes us into this 15th-century world, giving a remarkable artist's interpretation of the Columbus story. Recommended for ages 7 and up.

Publisher's Description

Illus. in full color. The 15th century comes alive in this splendidly original picture book about Christopher Columbus. "The illustrations, executed in a variety of media, show scenes from the explorer's life as well as some imaginary creatures that populated the Europeans' picture of the outside world at that time. The details on each page invite individual readers to pay close attention, but the brief, clear text and framed illustrations lend themselves equally well to group sharing. Make room on your crowded Columbus shelf for this one."--(starred) School Library Journal.
