We really appreciate the beauty of this series of books as it covers "The Epic of Gilgamesh" in an appropriate and accessible way for our children. We love to use actual historic documents in our study if possible, but the actual epic is too uncomfortably graphic even for our older children, so we use these for everyone as we study Mesopotamia, Sumer and Babylon. There are not many books that ...             The Owl and the Pussycat26 reviews Edward Lear Tundra Books, 1986 The Owl and the Pussycat ISBN 0399231935 - A quick glance through the pages of the board book edition from G.

There are some hilarious moments as Norbert the ...             Hero of Lesser Causes3 reviews Julie Johnston Tundra Books, 2003 A Happy Discovery Never having heard of the author before, I came across a copy of this book in our local library and took it out to read to my eleven-year old, visiting god-daughter.

One early morning in June, 1832, Anne Harvey was awakened by two familiar sounds: the howling wind of a storm and the distress call from a ship offshore.

Ludmilla Zeman has brought this story to ...             The Roman Conspiracy3 reviews Jack Mitchell Tundra Books, 2005 Great history in an exciting story Jack Mitchell has written a great story about becoming a young man in ancient Rome.
