Description
Follow along with Andrea and Arlo as they join together to make history interesting for a class project. This book is written a bit like a script of dialogue back and forth between the two classmates. The layout of this book almost makes it feel like your involved in the conversation, which may appeal to children who have a hard time focusing on history books full of facts and paragraphs. The book is separated into 3 main sections – Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome. This book can be picked up and opened to just about any page since the topics change so quickly. There are some periodic pictures provided throughout as well to help visualize some of the information, some realistic and some humorous. There is a bit of crude/crass humor in this book, but everything is still age-appropriate for elementary-aged children. Some of the information in this book will be so mind-blowing, you may not even believe it at first! 185 pgs, pb.
