4.0 out of 5 stars
Easy to read, fun to read,
By TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" (Bloomington, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: The Winged Cat: And Other Tales of Ancient Civilizations (Paperback)
which is the point of children's books. Lattimore paints an interesting, though at times unrealistic, picture of three ancient cultures -- Egypt (period unclear), the Near East (though she is confusing the neo-Bablyonian period with the tower of Babel story), and mythical Minoan times. The language of the storeis is simple so children in upper grade school may be able to handle it. The plots are also interesting and because they involve children or youngteens this should also keep kids interested. At just 64 pages it may be a book a children struggling with reading or who dislikes reading can finish in about a week. She also did the illustrations for the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A definite read aloud or independent read,

We have been studying the Acient World this year. My daughters loved the tales inside this book. It is a must have.
