I posted about these books this week, thinking that they sounded just what living books should be. We have slightly different titles over here in the UK where they are called My Story, but some are the same books.
We’d started reading a book about Cleopatra and I read on to the end to check the content, which for us was ok, the only odd bit being about the girl saying she went for a run naked once to shock others, but it was easily missed out as a RA. What I did think and agree with RobinP and Booworm is that the writing isn’t the best. My kids are enjoying it, so we are keeping going with it, but I’m glad I posted about them and got some feedback. I think if you are struggling to find something about a specific time period and really want to read more about it then they might be worth a go 🙂
