These twenty-six A-Z animal adventure stories will whisk kids across the globe as they paddle the Nile River, lumber through the Amazon rain forest, and march across the Mesoamerican terrain. There is one item that makes traveling through time and space possible for the animals-the Commandment Stone! From dodging arrows of the Visogoths, to escaping the clutches of the Samurai, or simply sipping frothy xocolatl (or hot chocolate) with the Aztecs, kids are sure to remember the people and places from long ago, inspiring them to consider the contribution they will, in turn, make to this world.
