Early Times: The Story of Ancient Greece, 4th Edition Paperback – April 9, 2013

We used this as the spine for our homeschool study of Ancient China (my kids were in upper elementary and middle school). We found it to be well-written and engaging (we used it as a read aloud). We have also used other books by this author and plan to use a couple of others in our homeschool later. Definitely get the updated editions of these books... the earlier versions don't include as many maps and photos as the updated ones.

Very informative text with great "ideas to think about" and activity suggestions at the end of each chapter. I find this a very valuable part of my 6th grade ancient history curriculum.

It was for my granddaughter
