Title: Macchu Picchu: The Story of the Amazing Inkas and Their City in the Clouds (Wonders of the World Book) by Elizabeth Mann, Amy Crehore ISBN: 0965049396 Publisher: Mikaya Pr Pub. Date: 2000 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.95 |

Summary: Inka magic
Comment: This book is a delight. The vivid colors and imagination are what separate this book from your typical, dry non-fiction children's book. Obviously, the Inkas had access to all of the colors of nature(not just earthy colors as some might think) and no piece of faded cloth can tell the true story. Just like the Sistine Chapel, the Inka garments were once vibrating with color. The building of Machu Picchu speaks volumes - they had supreme skills in the area of art and design. Highly recommended to students and adults alike.

Summary: Too much blue clothing
Comment: Loving Peruvian textiles and having visited many exhibits in museums, I was very disappointed at the extensive use of blue and blue-green in the clothing. The Inkas used only natural dyes including indigo but not mostly the textiles were reds, golds, oranges and browns. I wouldn't use this book with students. An excellent book on Peru's textiles - though not a child's book - is "Hidden Threads of Peru" Rowe and Cohen. These are not ancient textiles, but they do show a Peruvian choice of color.
