Reviews

"If you homeschool and are looking to try out new learning resources that offer hands-on activities to make learning more enjoyable, then you will want to check out this" — Inspired by Savannah 


"Fascinating."—East County Magazine


"Ancient Romans and Their Neighbors: An Activity Guide" by Simonetta Carr will teach children ages 9-12 to appreciate the rich culture of ancient Rome and the people who lived around them in fascinating cultures that are more relevant to our own times than many imagine. These other peoples included: The Etruscans, inhabitants of modern-day Tuscany, created a unique, colorful and highly refined culture, pioneering many elements of architecture, art and fashion that have been attributed to the Romans; The Celts, who have long captured popular imagination with fascinating stories of druids and magic potions, were a complex and resourceful population that left an important mark in much of Europe; The Carthaginians are normally remembered because of Hannibal's daring crossing of the Alps on African elephants, but there is much more to their history and culture, which made them for a time the most powerful force along the Mediterranean Sea. Well-researched and based on the latest findings, "Ancient Romans and Their Neighbors: An Activity Guide" offers a unique comparison of ancient civilizations that is also full of engaging activities that will give children a taste of what daily life in ancient times was like. While unreservedly endorsed and recommended for family, elementary school, and community library collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists (and home schooling parents) that "Ancient Romans and Their Neighbors: An Activity Guide" is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $12.72)."—Midwest Book Review

Trade Paper

Published May 2003

Children can try their hand at re-creating ancient Israelite culture—along with the cultures of their neighbors, the Philistines and Phoenicians—in a way that will provide perspective on current events. The book covers a key period from the Israelites’ settlement in Canaan in 1200 B.C.E. to their return from exile in Babylonia in 538 B.C.E. This part of the Middle East—no larger than modern-day Michigan—was the birthplace of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. More than 35 projects include stomping grapes into juice, building a model Phoenician trading ship, making a Philistine headdress, and writing on a broken clay pot. Israelites', Phoenicians', and Philistines' writing and languages, the way they built their homes, the food they ate, the clothes they wore, and the work they did, and of course, their many interesting stories, are all explored.
