What a nifty book! Not only do kids learn about the inventions of the Greeks, but how those discoveries help us today. Kids learn about Greek gods, philosophy, architecture, science, math, medicine, art, and even about the start of the Olympics. The "words to know" (ie: Sparta and acropolis) and the quiz questions (ie: What were the three uses of olive oil in ancient Greece?) sprinkled throughout the book invite dialogue, and the 15 activities bring the book's information alive. My favorites? Make your own baklava and write a letter in Greek. This book is interesting, well written, and engaging. A must-read for any kid (or adult!) wanting to immerse themselves in Greek history.
What a great resource to stimulate young minds! I've got girls in 5th and 7th grades, and have had a hard time finding reference material that interests and challenges them. This book does both. I wish there were more like it.
THis was a favorite of my daughter's. Especially the recipe for Baklava! IT was delicious. I purchased both as support material for our study of Ancient Rome and Greece and enjoyed them volumes. The information was presented well and the activities were worthwhile. Highly recommend!
This is an excellent book! Well written and a complete review. 9 year old grandson says " This is really interesting!"...Am planning to buy several more for children's gifts.
We are using this book for our homeschool. It was a good purchase. Easily 5 stars. I would recommend it to other families also.
Tools of the Ancient Greeks: A Kid's Guide to the History & Science of Life in Ancient Greece (Tools of Discovery series)This is a great book that can be digested bit by bit by a younger reader and read quickly by an older child. Both will find it interesting. We plan to be in Greece for over 2 months and this will be a useful tool fo them to learn more and use their imagination about Greece.
i like this book it helped me with my report and its where i get all my Greek knowledge i recommend it for any student :)
