If You Were Me and Lived in... Ancient Greece

I received this book from the author for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

If You Were Me and Lived In...Ancient Greece is the perfect introduction to life in Ancient Greece for kids! It covers everything from lifestyles, to the architecture, to the famous historians born in Greece, to even the vast array of gods and goddesses.

The story is written in easy to follow sentences and has many interaction questions, making it a wonderful read-aloud to either large groups of children or one child who really loves to learn.

The illustrations correspond perfectly to the words and paint a fabulous picture of what life might have looked like in Ancient Greece in addition to what it looks like now. There are even several pages dedicated to defining the gods and goddesses of Greece and what roles they played in “history”, according to the beliefs of the Greek. Also a few Greek words are featured in addition to a lengthy glossary of all the words not defined immediately as the story progresses.

So in conclusion of If You Were Me and Lived In...Ancient Greece, I give it a full 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to homeschooling moms with kids under 10 years old, as well as preschool and/or early elementary teachers.
