The first title in a colourful series of sticker books, Aztecs, introduces the famous civilization of the Aztecs who flourished about 600 years ago in what is now central Mexico, before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores in 1519. The Aztecs had a sophisticated civilization based around their capital city, Tenochtitlan, and were skilled in making beautiful objects of mosaic, jade, stone, featherwork and metal. The book features six 'galleries' which children will enjoy filling with stickers of real Aztec objects. Each gallery has a theme, such as Gods and Goddesses and Aztec Life and each space has a descriptive 'label' so that children can identify and place the relevant object stickers in the display. While they have fun with the stickers, they are learning about the objects and the culture from which they come. The final gallery is an empty 'exhibition space' which the children can furnish with their own choice of objects to create a completely personal Aztecs exhibition. The stickers are peelable, so if they are lifted up with care, the display can be re-created again and again. The book features approximately 100 colourful stickers.
