    Has anyone read the above title?  I am looking for a good alternative to Famous Men of Rome for my almost 9 and 6 year old.  There is no feedback on Amazon and I hesitate to purchase yet another resource that I may not like. 

    Thanks,

    Im not sure if you know this but FMoR is not the suggested spine in the guide that covers Rome. This is on the book list:

     

    The Story of the Romans by H. A. Guerber, edited by Christine Miller (Nothing New Press edition; This edition contains revised and expanded material used in the lesson plans which is not included in other editions.)

     

    Sorry, I don’t have any experience with the Pratt book.

    Yes, I acutally started The Story of the Romans.  My kids weren’t getting it, and after posting here I realized they were probably a bit young for it, so I decided to try the other.  There just seems to be a lot of violence and I’m not sure I get when mythology leaves off and history begins.  It’s confusing to me, and I know my 8 and 6 y.o. aren’t getting it or liking it.  I do have the other resources, so maybe they will be better.  Thanks!
