We are the future and at the same time we must look to the past as a guide for the future. Use this book to take one small look at the past as photographer John D, Weigand, and award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan show you some of the things they saw when they went to Olympia Greece to the site of the very first Olympiad Use your imagination and see if you can see where all the buildings and pillars once stood. Imagine the excitement of those very first games and all the people who came from far and wide to participate in them. Once good thing is there are signs that explain where everything once stood---but you still have to use your imagination Use this book (as with all Weigand/Dyan travel books for kids) as a starting point to your learning. Fill it with your own photos, sketches, postcards and other things to make this book your very own and one of a kind As a former teacher Dyan knows keeps see with keen eyes, and they often see what me miss. You might be surprised at what they see, think and learn when they aren't spoon fed a boring set of facts Children need to use all the tools in their toolboxes of learning, and imagination and creation are the just the beginning
