This book about the last Aztec king and his people is filled with photos, illustrations, and actual quotes that make you feel like you are there in an Aztec village.

You'll learn how the Aztecs lived, ate, played, prayed, and dressed, and what happened when the Spanish conquistadors arrived.

Allie, a fifth-grader from P.S. 321 in Brooklyn says, "My favorite part of the book was how the words were in different shapes and sizes. The pictures were nice because they were bright, and a lot of them were funny."

conquistador is a Spanish word meaning someone who conquers other people.
