Ancient Greece for Kids: 2 (Unfolding the Past, 2) : Ruzicka, Oldrich, Jones, Scott Alexander, Tuma, Tomas: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Good for an 8 - 10 year old - Very informative book for my 8 year old grand child who is learning about the Ancient Greeks at school. Beautiful pictures and amusing facts. Review: Lovely book in an exciting format - The book is packed full of bite sized interesting facts and lovely illustrations that the children enjoy looking through and talking about. They also love the format of food put maps and “hidden” text, though it’s a little on the fragile side, especially with younger readers (6 years old) involved. The listing suggested reader age 6-9. The format is tricky to handle carefully for a 6 year old (we’re getting a lot of kinks where the pages fold), and the vocabulary used is arguably beyond most readers in that age group. It’s great that the children’s vocabulary is being expanded but in places it is at such a rate that it might be detracting from the subject matter itself, with multiple words in each sentence in a fact box needing explaining, especially to the younger reader who seems to grow tired more quickly of having to comprehend so many new words in a short space of time in order to immerse himself in the picture the words paint. Definitely not a book for most children in the age bracket to enjoy, with comprehension, without adult input. Nonetheless, this has been a hit with my 6 and 8 year old children, and we will be looking to get the other titles from the series.

I bought this book for my 9 year old grandson that was traveling to Greece. It was perfect for his age and he loved it. Would highly recommend.

Well, when my granddaughter asked for a book about Ancient Greece, I had no other choice but to find a book about Ancient Greece. This book was well made and had tons of facts about Ancient Greece. Absolutely loved it!!!

Even though I was looking for a book on philosophers for kids, this one was OK from a different perspective. Nice designs, layout and paragraphs.
