A Great Introduction to Greek History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
It is a difficult task to introduce Ancient Greece to young children. Most books overwhelm them with too much disperate information. Elizabeth Mann has a great solution to the overload problem by concentrating on one building, The Parthenon. By focusing on one discrete structure, she can introduce children to Greek mythology, history, art and architecture in a more directed fashion. I am a great fan and collector of ancient history books for children. Elizabeth Mann's "Wonders of the World Books" are some of the best history books available for children. Her books contain that wonderful mix of history combined with art and architecture. They are a real pleasure and I look forward to reading the entire series. Highly recommended.
