Book #1: DK Eyewitness Ancient Greece
The first book is Ancient Greece by DK Eyewitness Books (for ages 8 and above). This book also comes with a CD containing lots of colorful images. It covers Ancient Greek history from the Bronze Age to the time of Alexander the Great and topics such as what life was like in Greece for men and for women, religion (the Greek Gods and temples) and mythology, architecture, warfare, some of Greece's scientific achievements and the Olympics. The book is easy to read, transports kids back to ancient times and makes learning history really fun and interesting.

Book #2: Tools of the Ancient Greeks
The second book that we recommend is Tools of the Ancient Greeks: A Kid's Guide to the History & Science of Life in Ancient Greece (for ages 9 and above). The book focuses on ancient Greek inventions and scientific achievements and on the way they influence our world today. For example, the book covers some of the advances in mathematics, science and medicine. The book discusses philosophy, Greek mythology, art, etc. It also contains fun quiz questions (with answers) and activities that help children learn. However it does not contain a CD like the DK Eyewitness book.These books can be a great resource for teachers in the classroom, for parents homeschooling or for kids doing their homework.
