Don't let the cover fool you.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Don't let the cover of this book fool you. The lovely cover makes this book look like a high school or college text, but upon opening it you will find it appeals to a younger crowd. Their are lovely pictures and illustrations. The text is succinct and relatively easy to read. There are many pictures to keep the reader engaged. If your upper elementary to middle school age child finds ancient history a little boring, give this book a try. It is fact-filled but well-illustrated and to-the-point. A great addition to your library if you homeschool; great to flesh out your history lesson if you use MOH or TOG.
