Escape Into The Words Of...
Escape into the words of......Up and Down the Andes by Laurie Krebs and Aurelia Fronty.
In rhyming verse, Up and Down the Andes describes children from various parts of Peru traveling to the city of Cusco, Peru, to participate in Inti Raymi, a traditional Inca festival. The endnotes contain excellent information about Inti Raymi and other Peruvian festivals, Peru’s history, the Andes Mountains, and the ancient city of Machu Picchu.
Can you draw a set of pictures showing what happened in the story..... how did it begin, who are the characters, where did they do, how did it end?
