Description

Get ready to zoom back to the 1250s for the ultimate adventure! We’re meeting Marco Polo, a young kid from Italy who decided ordinary life was boring! He hopped on a camel (maybe!) and traveled all the way to China—a journey that lasted 24 YEARS! Imagine being away that long! Marco met the mighty Kublai Khan and saw amazing new things, like shiny paper money and rocks that glowed when burned (that's coal!). He even learned about noodles that became... pasta! When he finally got home, he had the wildest stories ever, which he wrote down in a famous book that inspired explorers like Columbus centuries later! Don't miss this epic tale of bravery and discovery!
