Ancient Civilizations: 3000 Bc-Ad 500 (Time-Life Student Library , Vol 4)

Rating:
Summary: excellent home library source
Review: I purchased the Time Life Student Library series for my nieces and nephew, one set for their home library, and then donated a set to their school library. The books are well written, beautifully illustrated, and do not "talk down" to children. The books address timely issues and interests.

Summary: My daughter couldn't put it down!
Review: This is a visually appealing, information-packed reference book. Special features such as "Would You Believe?" and "Try It!" appear on every page, inviting kids to really interact with the words and pictures. I bought this book for my 11-year old to write a report about Egypt, and found her also engrossed with Greece, China, India, and the Roman Empire. She even showed me how to write her name in hieroglyphs! I am so pleased to have found a book that got her excited about learning.
