Peter Kent's Wide-Eyed World
2 primary works
Book 1
Book 2
Focusing on ten different feasts from a mammoth meal in the Ice Age to an Aztec feast, this book on fabulous feasts, is part of a series which is intended to facilitate learning for all children, especially reluctant readers. Each title takes a fun look at historical periods, people and events that feature prominently in early education. A brief introduction to each picture explains the background to each scene. The reader is then required to find a range of curiosities in large, detailed pictures, for example, find the foodstuffs listed on each menu card and the people listed on the guest list. It is hoped that this way the reader can discover the bizarre and the magnificent in the events and customs of bygone days.
