Studies have proven learning is enhanced through the use of several senses. A recent study shows that we retain 10 percent of what we see, 20 percent of what we hear, and 50 percent of what we see and hear. But when we see, hear and do, we retain 90 percent of the information.(Lisa Marie Nelson, Ph.D., Author “The Healthy Family Handbook”).

The purpose of this Resource & Activity Book is to help children learn and retain the story theme and principles in a fun and educational way. Your children will love coloring pages, solving puzzles, matching games, completing word searches, and much more! Each Resource & Activity Book also features challenging questions and activities for children from preschool through middle school. And in the rare case you don’t know an answer, there’s an answer key in the back!

Marco Polo intrigued audiences with his tales of magnificent palaces filled with precious stones, rivers filled with gold and “men with tails” who threw nuts as big as a man’s head. He described things that no one had ever witnessed and no one believed him. They were certain he had never visited these wondrous places. Yet he had.

This story captures the greatest highlights of Marco’s astonishing adventures to India, China and many other exotic lands.
