A Great Resource on Ancient Greece!

This is just one in a series of four books written by Jane Shuter. This book focuses on various aspects of the Greek city-states and their citizens. Shuter defines the meaning of a city-state, describes how they were run, and what it was like to live there. Other areas that are featured are voting, education, women, writing, religious beliefs, entertainment, and fitness. All the information is written in simple language and is appropriate for all readers. Each page of the book is attractively decorated, and most have either colored illustrations or photographs of ancient Greek artifacts. Special quotes from famous ancient Greek writers are included and address ideas from the page they are printed on. A very simple map and timeline are included in the brief introduction as well as a glossary of boldface words from the text, an index, and a short list of more books to read on the topic. This book was both simple and interesting, and would be an outstanding elementary classroom resource on ancient Greece.
