The Groovy Greeks and The Rotten Romans--Great, as always!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We love all the Terry Deary books. My sons read them all (my sons are now in 7th and 9th grades) as they do great summaries of key points and offering stunning and gross tidbits to really make it easy to remember those key elements. This is how to LEARN history as you really remember it this way.

I read these series of books as a kid, and I got to say even after so many years, i still remember the funny style I learned Greek mythology and the mythology itself. Nothing was forgotten. As I grew older and had to study mythology in class, I was the smart one who knew a thing or two about mythology. Because of these books. I'm 21 now and god, I kept my copies of this collection. Even after how may years, i want to read them again.
