Reminders of Greek culture are everywhere evident today, from bubblegum to plays (Greeks invented both). But what was ancient Greece like for children? As this book explains, youngsters were well educated, sometimes with private teachers. They studied music, practicing as much as three hours a day! They engaged in mock-battles as a way to learn bravery. And they worshipped their gods in temples, just like adults did. This book covers "house rules," gym class, the Olympic games, the Greek gods, pets, and a host of other topics designed to introduce a legendary society to young minds.

This review is from: If I Were a Kid in Ancient Greece: Children of the Ancient World (Hardcover)
This book is a good way to introduce your children to the culture of ancient Greece. It is colorful and attention grabbing. Appropriate reading for ages 6-10 yrs.(at average reading levels).
1.0 out of 5 stars
Not a good overview of ancient Greece,
This review is from: If I Were a Kid in Ancient Greece: Children of the Ancient World (Hardcover)
The book spends too much time on the Olympics at the expense of discussing daily life and Ancient Greece's enduring contribution to Western intellectual development.The other books in this series are better, but all are too short to justify their asking price.
