Series Review: Ancient Communities: Roman LifeClean layouts and bright color illustrations and photos of period art and artifacts add significantly to these introductions...these books are attractive enough to appeal to both browsers and report writers.School Library JournalSeries Review:With research emphasis on the Roman Empire in upper grades, and interest in the same in middle grades, this series is sure to see use, particularly among students whose interest level is above their reading level...The books themselves are written in a kid-friendly style without being too casual. Important words are highlighted in bold type and are also found in the glossary. One nice touch, especially for struggling readers, is to have arrows pointing to the illustration or object that is discussed in the captions...these titles provide a starting point and should appeal to the intended audience.Library Media ConnectionRL
