Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Digging Up History
Judy Monroe Peterson · 2008
68/100
👎 Skip It
Digging Up History does what its series promises — colorful photos, real career context, and a readable introduction to archaeology for early elementary students. At 24 pages it can only scratch the surface, and kids already hooked on the subject will exhaust it quickly. A solid classroom supplement but not something most families need to own.
