My 7-year-old and I loved this book!,

This review is from: Why Are You Calling Me Barbarian? (Paperback)
I just had to speak up after reading the lukewarm review by Publishers Weekly. We are doing the Well-Trained Mind curriculum suggestions, and this book was recommended for additional reading in Chapter 41 of "Story of the World." This book is an accurate, fun comparison of the lives and cultures of the Romans and the Scandinavians ("Barbarians") during ancient times. The two children tell each other about their lives and their homes, and they make a game out of it: whoever remembers more about the other's story wins the game. My 7-year-old loved it. It also engendered a conversation about perspective, and how our history of the Roman Empire would differ if it were written by the "Barbarians."
