Can anyone tell me if a Traveller in Rome works really well for young children? One person mentioned that they used Roman Antics in the place of this one for geography. I cannot find this book online at amazon to check it out so if someone could tell me the author of Roman Antics perhaps that would help in my search. Anyway I will be doing Rome next year and I would like some feedback on what they used for young children for geography. My children are going to be 7 and 9. I don’t want to get A Traveller in Rome if it is more geared to older ones then mine.
Thanks,
Kim.
If you are talking about the HV Morton book of that name, then I think it is too advanced for your age group. I love the book as did my daughters, but it is written for adults, and older teens – if this is the book then I would look for something more suitable for their age. Linda
I tried it last year with dd9 & ds6 at the time and it was way too much, though I enjoyed it.
I used Rome Antics by David McCaulley (sp?) and another called This is Rome by ? It was an unusual name, but is part of a series. These worked very well for us. Also we watched some great DVDs about ancient Rome by BBC and history channel. Also added a Rick steeve’s travel one to see Modena Italy.

AWWW thanks goodness. I’ve started reading it to my 8, 6, and 4 yr olds and was like huh?? This is very advanced for their age! lol And for ME! I’ll check ou tthe Rome Antics book for sure. It is listed in the Module and I was assuming for the younger grades!

*I just looked up books on Rome on SCM and it DOES show this is for 3rd grade up but I don’t think that is accurate.
