About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child starts asking endless 'what if' questions about the past, showing a curiosity about how people lived before modern technology. The Time Traveller Book of Long Ago takes young readers on an imaginative journey through various historical eras, from Stone Age caves and Roman villas to Viking longships and medieval castles. Rather than focusing on dry dates and famous figures, it vividly illustrates the details of daily life: what people ate, how they built their homes, and what games children played. This approach fosters a sense of wonder and empathy, encouraging children to connect with people from the past on a human level. It's a fantastic, visually rich resource for turning a budding interest in history into a real passion for learning.
