Publisher's Synopsis
What was life like for kings and knights in the Middle Ages? Pretty disgusting! Castles smelled terrible with poop chutes and mucky moats--and stay clear of the treacherous dungeon! If you got sick, remedies might include animal poop or leeches. Gross! Struggling and reluctant readers will be fascinated to learn awesome and unusual facts about disgusting medieval jobs, archaic weapons and torture devices, and the Black Plague. Carefully leveled Spanish text will have kids squirming with delight as they rush to share wacky facts with their friends. Illustrations mixed with historical art and sidebars keep kids engaged. A table of contents, glossary with pronunciations, further resources, and an index all enhance comprehension. Translated into North American Spanish.
