Eclectichomeschool.org —"…this little gem from Nomad Press is a great book for learning about Ancient Greece…The author’s enthusiasm jumps out of the page at you while you’re reading descriptions of Greeks and their culture…While Explore Ancient Greece! is well-suited to an individual homeschool—the activities are interesting enough for a parent to do with an only child, or with a houseful—this book would also make a great basis for a co-op hands-on history class. Highly recommended!"
School Library Journal—"…Fun book about an otherwise daunting culture. Kids will enjoy the format of the book with its cartoon-like drawings and jokes. The text is punctuated with fun fonts and sidebars that enrich the historical narrative of the text. Very fun activities make learning about this culture a great experience. This book a worthwhile addition to your library."
