Ancient Persia By Neil D. Bramwell

This book looks fun and intriguing, but I had the hardest time getting into it. It reads like an upper-elementary mini-textbook.  With only about 35 pages of text, with several illustrations throughout, it moves kind of fast through a great deal of Ancient Persian history.  Although a bit simplistic for that age group, I think I will see if I can revisit this book in Core 6, when my 7 year old will be better prepared to go through so many names and dates in a few short readings. I think it just moved too fast for him at this point.
