The Biography of Silk

If you are interested in learning about Silk and the worms that produce the silk this is an excellent book. There are nicely colored photographs as well. A good book for beginners and for older children. I like very much how the author's explained this book, it was well written and written so that younger children can understand. Contents: Luxury Fabric Silk Lands The Silkworm Making Silk Ancient China's Silk Silk Road Silk in Europe American's Silk Industry Young Textile Workers Silk Uses The Future of Silk Glossary and Index Side note: My daughter is 7 and wanted to listen to me read this book. She liked to hear about the silkworms and China. This is definitely for older children.
