A LOOK AT THE ANCIENT WORLD
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Ancient worlds are revisited in Romans Wore Togas by Fiona MacDonald. Youngsters will smile at the rollicking illustrations of days long past, while they learn what Roman children played with, visit the site of the world's first shopping mall, and see what Emperor Augustus did about high-rise apartments. Published in the Kingfisher series "I Wonder Why," this amazingly complete text leaves little to wonder about as data is skillfully woven into sometimes comically recreated scenes from early everyday life.
History that appeals to kids
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
One can quibble about some of the information presented here,but the format and text got my five year old's attention, and I'mgrateful for any history book that can appeal to someone this young. Some of the facts were suitably "gross", (vomitoria, communal bathrooms) but they generated discussion, and isn't that the idea?
