This lively information book does a great job of bringing the Romans to life for children using colour illustrations and interactive flaps to convey a great deal of information. There are double pages on the Roman army and its war machines, on Roman building, gladiators and – likely to be a favourite with most young readers – Roman public toilets. There are lots of facts to learn and some wonderfully quirky bits of information too: did you know, for example, that Roman schools took place in the street, or that Roman children had pet mice? Entertaining and effective as all information books should be.
Travel back in time and meet the Romans in this fact-packed lift-the-flap book!
How big was the Roman Empire? What weird foods did the Romans eat? Why was the Roman army so fearsome? Find the answers to all these questions and more. Each humorous scene is packed with facts and interactive flaps that bring history to life. Don't just read about the Romans ... meet them!
