You Wouldn't Want To Be A Kid In Ancient Rome (Tough Times) - Softcover

Tough Times: A Kid's Life in Ancient Rome shows the world of ancient Rome through the eyes of a Roman child from a wealthy family, using cartoon-like illustrations, easy-to-read text, fact boxes and maps to immerse young readers in the sights, sounds and smells of the period. Spend time in a swanky Roman home, taste some strange delicacies, like fermented fish guts, and see gladiators fight to the death in the arena! By covering familiar subjects such as school, family, careers and entertainment, young readers are able to relate the lives of the historical figures to their own experiences, which aids their ability to absorb historical knowledge.
