Introducing the Greeks

What a great introduction to Greek history for the younger grades! This book has nice, big text with engaging full-color illustrations, maps, and fun activity ideas. I only wish it had a few dates to use along side a timeline, but it is still a good buy for the K-3 crowd.

Good for the younger grades

This treatment of Greek history is ideal for the child in the younger grades, and is a good one for them to own. It has brief but understandable explanations of the Ancient Greek people, how they lived, leisure time spent in games and theatre, the Olympics, and Gods and Legends. Each explanation is followed by one or two crafts or activities that make the material memorable. On the first page is a simple timeline that shows the Greek civilization in relation to the Egyptians, the Romans and the Vikings. This book worked great with my second grader as an adjunct to other material we covered about Ancient Greek civilization.
