[Ciaran Mcnamee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an attractive information text about Ancient Rome. It is divided into different sections so you can have a class discussion about different aspects of Roman life. My year 3 class enjoyed using it to look up facts about the Romans. I would recommend it as text to introduce children to the Romans.
