In ancient Rome, the life of the inhabitants was centered around the seven hills the city was settled on.

I will be watching to see when this book comes down from library prices. It is a great book, but definitely not worth $29. In contrast to the Shuter/Rees/Ganeri authors, this author does a great job at covering the basics about Rome in a slightly more kid-friendly format. With children in our home only a year apart, I have found that most of the ancient civilization books we've read don't quite fit for a K-2nd grader that well. Once you get to 2nd/3rd grade reading level, all those reference books are fine. But this was one even my kindergartner could sit though. The basic topics are covered: everyday life, religion, buildings, technology, ideas, and statesmen. But it is done a slightly slower pace. Instead of having big blocks of text with vocab words and captions, this book has full page illustrations and just one paragraph per page. Most of the illustrations are kind of cheesy looking, but tasteful and kind of masculine--my boys really enjoyed it. I wish there had been more actual photos included (there were only a couple), but that wasn't really the style of the book and there are lots of photos in DK and other books to reference.

For those who care about the issue, the book was G-rated with no inappropriate content or artifacts for kids. I also appreciated that Christianity was introduced into the Roman story in a factual and non-threatening way. Although I was very surprised to see that Constantine was deleted out of the story completely. I have noticed this trend in Roman reference works, and it puzzles me, to be honest. Seems like a huge event in Western Civ history is being neglected.

Anyway, the book deserves kudos for at least informing kids of some of the big ideas like paganism, Christianity, and the Roman Republic. It does none of these things in a very in-depth way, but like I said, I believe it is difficult to find works that acquaint the younger grades with ancient civilizations without being overwhelming. This one does a great job.

I got this book from the library for my 3-yr-olds who like to look at pictures and hear the explanations, even if they don't read the words. It has great pictures, good info, and would be a terrific book if it didn't include a picture spread on how the Romans fed the Christians to the lions with a really freaking sad and disturbing image of mothers, babies and small children being tearfully ushered into the coliseum to face a grisly public death. I don't want to think about that myself, much less explain to my kids how the Romans would have sent mothers and children in to be gruesomely murdered in public. Cover the persecution of Christians without illustrating the imminent deaths of toddlers. Talk about gladiators and show adults fighting. I get that history is history, but god. There's also a line about how the fathers were in control of their families and could even decide to kill a family member if they wanted to. True? Sure. Relevant or appropriate for a kids' history book? Nah. Bottom line - if you or your kids are the kind who are sensitive to disturbing or very, very sad things...pick another book.
