If You Were Me and Lived in the Ancient Mali Empire by Carole P. Roman

     Let's travel back to Ancient Mali. It's a time when the Mali empire was a world power. We can see how they lived and learn about their customs and traditions. Did you know Mali means " hippopotamus"? C'mon and learn even more with this book.

     I love this series. I know I've said it before, but this series is perfect for the younger crowd. I feel this series is essential for your child's library. Well written and character are well defined too. You'll find out so much with this book. Get your copies today!

    I did find issues. I'm not sure this age group is ready for the brutal punishments described in the book. There are other bits of information too mature for this crowd.

     I gave this one 4 cheers out of 5 because of this issues listed.
