Join the Binkertons -- twins Josh and Emma and their little sister Libby -- as they head to the Good Times Travel Agency hoping to visit the next Olympic Games, but end up in Ancient Greece instead! Adventures in Ancient Greece is an exciting mix of adventure and historical information about life in Greece in the fifth century BC. Kids will learn about the Greek gods, the birth of democracy, Greek home life -- and much more. They'll love the book's contemporary comic-book look, while parents, teachers and librarians will admire the well-researched story line and solid factual information.

Cleopatra, perhaps the greatest woman of ancient times, has her amazing story told and illustrated in this exciting book, with art from ancient times to modern. Text is taken from Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, and Plutarch. There are cut outs and line drawings to color.

You'll learn about ECONOMICS in this book--a subject that is often a yawn, but not in these pages. Read about powerful Pierpont, Mother Jones, a teddy bear President, and two brothers who want to fly.
