Gr 2-4–Short, two-page chapters provide straightforward facts about these featured topics. Each book contains two- to three-sentence paragraphs along with color photographs of places and artifacts on each spread. Egyptian Treasures describes antiquities and customs. Extreme Places presents a variety of radical locations inhabited by humans, such as the coldest and hottest, wettest and driest, most polluted, most remote, and earthquake and flood zones. Roman Soldier's Handbook provides reenactments of battles and prepares readers as if they were to join the Roman Army and what to expect during their term of service. What the Romans Did for the World explains that the ancient Romans introduced the Celts to their language, eating utensils, baths, and toilets. It includes present-day photos of some historic architecture and objects. Sporadically placed factual tidbits jump off each page, making the books entertaining enough for pleasure reading. Perfect for beginners with no background on these subjects.–Janet Weber, Tigard Public Library, OR. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
