This is the story of "Big J" - Julius Caesar. Where ever you look, he's there: coins, statues, he's a real celebrity, and he's getting a bit too big for his sandals.

Review
'True stories retold in simple text supported by speech bubbles make these books attractive to boys who may still be emergent readers. The comic-style illustrations of people and the necessary props for the story shown against a plain white background help to make understanding quick and clear.' -- Real Book News, Issue 11 20020501
