I highly recommend these books. That might not mean much to you but, you have to admit, I have taste.

Historically based during the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.

probably THE best childrens author. He started out working for Disney- you may have seen some of the movies he animated for- Snow White, Sleeping Beauty...heard of em?

The Congolese people were turned upside down by this Belgian king.

controversial and thought provoking. Menzies argues that the Chinese did in fact have the means to travel to America. It's along the same line as the Norse in North America. Valid. Maybe, maybe not. You should read to determine that.

a name we should ALLLLL be familiar with.
