I honestly checked out this book because I knew absolutely nothing about Sumerian culture and I loved the title. It did not disappoint--I loved all the tidbits about life, culture, slavery, farming, the elite, kingdom rivalries, food, all mixed in with the basic premise of not wanting to be a slave. I haven't seen 2nd person used often, but it was done well, and I think the artwork was representational enough to work for a nonfiction picture book. To me this is a book for 6-8 year olds.
