We're home schoolers, and my daughter and I used this book as part of her fifth-grade ancient history curriculum. The text is informative and interesting -- never dry. There are plenty of illustrations, pictures, and maps to catch the sometimes wandering attentions of children. The best part, though, is that at the end of the chapters are questions, "Ideas to Think About," and project ideas. The pronunciation guide in the back of the book really comes in handy when faced with all Greek names. I highly recommend this book. I'll be buying more history books written by this author.
