I'm looking for a good read aloud for my 9 year old dd about Marco Polo and was hoping someone here had some suggestions. Thanks!

Tina,
We studied Marco Polo a few years ago and the one book that my dd really enjoyed was:
Marco Polo by Manuel Komroff--it's one of the Junior Deluxe Editions...with nice black and white ink drawings throughout but definitely a winner as a read aloud--it's about 200 pages. She re-reads it every once in a while--it's one of her favorite books..
Not sure if it's still in print so I would check:
abebooks.com

Hi Tina,

We recently read a book on Marco Polo written by Charles Graves. We really enjoyed it!

It's an older book from a series on explorers - but a really fast read and help the interest of all my troopers!

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the suggestions! I wish my library had either of those though! I could try interlibrary loan but they often don't give enough time to actually read the book. Oh well, I may have to break down and buy one if I can find it.
