This review is from: Latin for Children, A History Reader (Latin For Childred) (Paperback)

This book claims to "feature stories of Ancient Greece and Rome". This is not true. It contains no stories from Ancient Greece. At least 9 of the 15 stories are Christian stories--they are not history, nor are they classical tales. Each "story" is in fact 3-5 individually numbered sentences. They have no plot and do not recount any logical story of history. The sentences are okay for learning Latin, but it is a very small book (55 small pages with very little content). The vocabulary lists are hurt by long and unconnected footnotes that usually relate to some obscure point related to a Christianized version of history. More than a primer in Latin this seems to be a church indoctrination book. The Christian propaganda point of view aside, I still don't think this is a good Latin exercise book--I would rate it very poor. This book needs a BIG disclaimer put on its description saying: "does not contain actual stories and is only appropriate for a highly Christian point of view".
