  This book is a great introduction for children into the world of ancient Greece. It sticks to facts and spells them out in plain, easy-to-understand language. Wroble uses Greek terminologies, explains what the words mean, and offers the correct pronunciation). Topics covered are: cities, houses, clothing, food, toys and games, education, religion, and social life. Each topic is treated in a single page and the opposite page contains either a photograph or a drawing that corresponds to the text.

  Very basic text on ancient Greece for young children. The author provids a glossary for unfamiliar words. Given the title, I thought the text would spend more time on kids, rather than tackling a variety of topics (food, religion, clothing, etc.). The text follows a kid named "Castor" on a couple of pages, but it doesn't indicate whether this is a real person, and Castor isn't discussed in relation to all the topics.
