As coloring books go, this belongs in my most favored group. I like this particular series of coloring books as they are not only entertaining, but quite informative at the same time. There are over 40 full page drawings in this particular work, all are quite detailed and as far as I can tell, quite accurate.Each picture is accompanied by at least one rather lengthy paragraph explaining the picture and how it relates to life in ancient Greece.There are a couple of things to be noted about this, and indeed, other of the books in this series.First, I would strongly recommend the use of colored pencils rather than crayons. The pictures are just too detailed and parts of the pictures are simply too small to be used with crayons. A sharp colored pencil is needed to render the drawings completely effective.Secondly, the paragraphs of explanation accompanying each picture are done in a very small font and the information is quite detailed. The younger child most likely will not have the vocabulary nor reading skill to get much out of the information. An adult will be needed to read this information and possibly paraphrase.Third, there is some mild nudity found in this book. This nudity is not as blatant as that found in Life in Ancient Egypt Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book) as there is no frontal nudity and bare breasts, but nudity is never-the-less there. It is manifested in this work as the author shows nude wresting and other sporting events. There is no frontal nudity and the picture is quite historically accurate.
