Description

Selected for The Children’s Book Council’s March 2023 “Hot Off the Press” Reading List

In Ancient Greece for Kids, readers will discover everything there is to know about Ancient Greece told in a novelty format.

Thousands of years ago, the first tribes arrived in the Balkan Peninsula, laying the foundations of Europe’s oldest civilization: Greece, which gave the world democracy, as well as endless knowledge of mathematics, architecture, military affairs, and philosophy.

Modern scientists can all trace their lineage back to Greek mathematicians and philosophers, and modern Greece is littered with the remnants of beautiful temples and ancient buildings that shaped the taste and style of modern architects. Let’s travel far into the past and discover how the Ancient Greeks lived, worked, fought, and created art.

These buildings are a cross-section of world architecture, offering a unique opportunity to compare the approaches, but also cultures of the entire world and different historical periods.

In Ancient Egypt for Kids, the famous ancient civilization along the Nile River is depicted in a novelty format like never before.

Over 5‚000 years ago, a civilization developed along the Nile River whose sights and remnants are still enchanting people from all over the world. Huge, wonderful pyramids, stone temples, decorated tombs, larger-than-life statues of rulers, tall columns, obelisks, and other memorials can be seen in Egypt wherever you look.

Still, many sights are waiting to be freed from the African sands and it remains somewhat mysterious how Egyptian builders could create such towering, beautiful buildings, considering the limited technology of the day. Let’s take a journey together to see the most wonderful Egyptian sights and learn what life in Ancient Egypt looked like for pharaohs, officials, soldiers, and ordinary people.
