Oversize pages and easy-to-read fonts explain thirty-seven objects, found by archaeologists, that help to illustrate life in Ancient Greece. This oversize (nearly fifteen inches tall) title offers a glimpse into what and how modern people know about life thousands of years ago. Parts of mosaics, toys, statues, bracelets, vases, and other artifacts are shown in photograph-like illustrations. Each artifact is accompanied by five to six bulleted paragraphs explaining what knowledge the piece provides, along with a fact file corner with details of where the artifact was found, where it is now, approximate age, and size. Interesting for readers intrigued by Ancient Greece, artifacts, or archeology.
