Excellent introduction to the ancient world!

"Mysterious Places: The Mediterranean" is an excellent way to get kids interested in history. It features overviews of different ancient sites around the Mediterranean. Each overview includes basic kid-friendly information about who lived there, when they lived, how each site was built, and why it eventually fell into ruin. Beautiful illustrations greatly enhance the book.
