If you were ever curious about what life was like in the year 150 AD in Ancient China...and back then things were really, really different!

Inside your home was an area partitioned off for sleeping.

There was no spot devoted to meals.

But that's not all- even the little things (like what you called your siblings) is definitely different back then.

...you didn't call each other by name. Your sisters called you "Older brother," and you called them "First sister" and "Second sister."

Though ...more

Wow! I just visited Ancient China. What a great book! It is filled with lots of wonderful information. There are so many things that are different about Ancient China and China today. Their style of clothing, their homes, types of furniture, and streets. And, under the old Han Dynasty, people were encouraged to write poetry and literature. And I love both. You will learn about the silk road and how it brought wealth to China. You will also learn about a space that was set up for a shrine in the ...more

Are you ready for a new adventure? Let's travel back in time. We can start with Ancient China. It means we'll have to travel a long way back in time. We can compare China then and now.

This was a really cute book on Ancient China. Done in the same way the Country books are done makes it interesting for children to compare things of today versus things of yesterday. The pictures are cute and there is a lot to learn of the culture, history, and language of China. There is even a section of Who's Who in Ancient China at the end of the book.

The pictures are colorful and cute. One thing I noticed is that there were misspellings and missing or added words which I have not found in a ...more

I read this book from the author for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

Another accurate, well written and very well illustrated (illustrations done by Mateya Arkova) book by Carole Roman for kids of all ages. If You Were Me and Lived in…Ancient China obviously goes over the history and activities in ancient China in easy to read sentences and some interactive questions.

Though this book is easy to read, it does contain many vocabulary words as well as some ...more
