Take a tour of the ancient world, to discover the wonders, and terrors, of its incredible civilisations.
Eight scenes show readers all around the cities, countryside, and mighty monuments of several incredible ancient civilisations - from the dawn of civilization in Ancient Egypt, to the rise of the great Mayan culture in Central America.

Media Reviews
The book is an excellent introduction to ancient civilisations for young children and gives slightly older children enough information to really whet their appetite... it is stimulating and interesting and will provide hours, if not years, of interactive reading enjoyment. * Adventures in Home Schooling *
