"This is a great series! The books look much like the Eyewitness books, but they have original illustrations in addition to photographs. The text is fragmented and is largely used to illustrate the images, but it is accurate and interesting."

"When I wrote this book, I kept many readers in mind. While it was written for adults, it has been read and enjoyed by pre-teens and children as well (including my own siblings)."
"For a precocious reader (or an interested parent) this is a fantastic read! It explains all kinds of details on daily life in ancient Rome in clear, interesting prose. It was written for adults and has a section on prostitution and brothels, so preview it and use your judgement for your own children. However, it is accurate, entertaining, and educational."
"This book is easier to find in Florence (that's where I bought it), and it is most appropriate for tweens, actually. The book is a little cheesy, but it has good photos and covers all of the major sights in Florence with just enough information for that particular age group. It also has maps and itineraries which are quite useful."
"If your child is interested in how things work, this is a great book. It isn't intended for children, but it has lots of illustrations. Good for tweens and teens."
"This is geared for younger readers, but this book includes many of the basic Bible stories that young travelers should know. And dePaola's illustrations are gorgeous!"
"These Fandex are great for the car or plane! The whole family can learn the basic stories of the Old Testament in quick style. Illustrated with great works of art, they make the connection between art and the stories of the Bible clear."
"Sadly this book is out of print, but if you can get a copy of it, do it. It is a great primer on the myths and stories of ancient Greece and Rome -- so many of which are depicted in the great works of art there. It is more appropriate for tweens and teens, and is more of a reference book than a book to sit and read."
