Curious Kids Guides: Ancient Greece by Fiona MacDonald

Written in question and answer format, this book has fun illustrations.  About 2-3 questions per 2 page spread.  Each spread addresses a different aspect of Greece life.  One word of caution: the book presents myths interspaced with regular text, with only a short disclaimer, such as "according to legend."  I prefer to empahsize a bit more the difference between legend and what is thought to be known.  But, on several pages, the legend information is mixed right in with the rest of the text and nothing stands out to separate it, so I personally would be a bit hesitiant about letting a child read this on their own.  But, again, I'm picky.  :)
