Scholastic Groovy Greeks (newspaper edition)

My daughter really enjoys these books. This one is packed with gruesome and funny stories from the Ancient Greek time period. The comedy and shock value interests children whilst accompanying their school learning and understanding of history

My son loves this book so much, he’s read it twice already!

Xmas gift requested by 9year old god daughter and well received! She thoroughly enjoyed it.

The story about child murder might upset some children and is maybe a bit too horrible even if it was only planned and failed (story of Cypselus; plus the story of Cronus eating his own son). It also seemed a bit negative about Greek democracy focusing on who was excluded, which is fair but perhaps incomplete. It had some good points and in many ways is a good text to get started.
