Little Miss HISTORY COLORING BOOK is the first volume in a series of coloring books, written by Barbara Ann Mojica and illustrated by Victor Ramon Mojica. Famous quotes in history, made by truly memorable historical figures, are shown throughout this book, accompanied by detailed, full-page black and white illustrations which are just ripe for the coloring! Young readers will learn about many greats from our past, including Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon Bonaparte, Geronimo, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe, George Washington and many more. At the end of the book, the reader will also find an interesting quiz which will test their observation skills.
Barbara Ann Mojica’s interactive history and coloring book will actively encourage young readers to follow up and learn more about some of the people who have been so instrumental in carving out the world in which we live today. Whether the character and quote reflects positively or negatively, each one accurately portrays the characteristics of the person who’d uttered those words. In producing Little Miss HISTORY COLORING BOOK, Barbara Ann Mojica also brings out the creative side of the reader, allowing them to put their own personal touch to this particular history book.
With Art and History combined, it is almost like a small classroom between the front and back covers, which will keep children busy and entertained for hours on end in quite a productive way, taking their focus away from television and video games for a little while, giving their eyes a break. I found Little Miss HISTORY COLORING BOOK to be enlightening and fun, and recommend it to children aged 7-12, who enjoy coloring while learning new things about interesting people of days gone by.
