4.5 stars. This is an incredible book that's written well. I just wish it had more pictures and drawings.

[Eden Williams]

I enjoyed this book! I learned a lot about Sumer that I haven't known before I read it.

Very good for my homeschooled six year old she was super interested in the cuneiform and the tablets so we went to seeking more about it and the Gilgamesh.

It's astounding the amount of world building fuel (for my fantasy world) I just ingested into my system

Thanks, semi-random library book!

[Cecile]

Erroneous dates.

[Legsoffury]

less a research book and more a summary of Sumerian culture. This book is more suited as an intro to Sumeria, although even towards that end there are gaps in the timeline of rulers. I would like to have seen an actual timeline of Sumerian capitols and rulers.

Told in a story format for children
