Children in History

　　你是否想過維京人或古埃及小朋友的日常生活是什麼樣的？這本書走遍了世界各地，探討歷史上從早餐到睡前的一切。瞭解由兒童發明的尼加拉瓜手語，並認識許多國家的幼兒國王和王后們，以及各種透過小朋友的雙眼所以看到的歷史故事！這是一本探索無止盡的知識繪本，打開孩子對於世界文化與同儕的好奇心。

　　英國暢銷作家妮可拉‧愛德華帶領孩子穿越時間長河，
　　看看各個時間年代、地理背景、不同文化的孩子在家裡、學校、玩耍中如何生活。
　　日本歷史上商人家庭的孩子大多住在「町屋」，這類型的房子有面向大街的拉門，
　　以方便將販售的商品展示給路過的客人觀賞。
　　至於遠在地球的另一邊，一世紀時奢華的羅馬家庭大多擁有大型庭院，
　　孩子會在院子裡觀賞華美的石柱與噴水池，充滿濃厚的藝術氣息。
　　關於睡前搖籃曲呢？事實上，並不是每個文化的搖籃曲都寧靜且引人入睡，
　　相反地，有些搖籃曲非常刺激！例如，挪威中世紀的搖籃曲唱的是農夫射獵烏鴉的故事；
　　巴西的搖籃曲唱的是鱷魚人把小孩吃掉的故事！
　　在世界的教室裡，16世紀的南美洲印加文明孩子會用彩色串珠繩來學習算數。
　　至於以前中國文化的孩子會學習孔子儒家思想，透過科舉考試成為政府官員。
