4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent pictures... lots of fun!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Life in Celtic Times (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
This book is a very nice depiction of life in Celtic times. It has easy to color pictures that are good for children, as well as adults. (In fact, I colored several pictures with my husband and we both had a good time!) The pictures depict rural, agricultural life -- working in the fields, around the house, with animals, etc. They also show the community spirit of the Celts. One image that DID disturb me was the picture of a "Wicker Man"-- a large, hollow statue made of wicker. Some historians think that the Wicker Man was used by the Celts to destroy their enemies. They would put live people in the Wicker Man and then light it on fire. The picture in the book DOES show live people inside the Wicker Man but they are not yet on fire. Other historians think that the Wicker Man may have been Roman propaganda. Either way, it might be a bit graphic for young children.

This review is from: Life in Celtic Times (Dover History Coloring Book) (Paperback)
For those of Celtic heritage who'd like to pass on some real historical knowledge to your kids, this book is a great choice. Very realistic detailed pictures with good, brief summaries is a good introduction for kids. It covers a wide variety of life and opens the way for future research. Very good for elementary age kids, or a brief introduction for olders - even adults.
