About This Book

It addresses the natural curiosity children have about the ancient world while gently touching on themes of bravery and self-reliance in a big, sometimes scary world. Parents will appreciate the clear vocabulary and the way the book honors a child's growing maturity by labeling it their first 'chapter book' experience. It is developmentally perfect for 5 to 7 year olds who are ready to master informational texts while staying grounded in a relatable, day-in-the-life structure.
