In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. This concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end.
Dominated to this day by the sprawling white marble complex of the Acropolis, Athens is a city which is immensely and rightly proud of its past. For a period of roughly three centuries, the polis of Athens stood, if not in a position of unchallenged supremacy among the cities of Hellas, then at the very least among its three most important polities. Its fledgling Empire, though small by the standards later set by Alexander or the Romans, or even by those of its ancient enemy Persia, nonetheless encompassed cities as far afield as Asia Minor and Southern Italy, a remarkable fact considering such expansion was achieved by the inhabitants of a single city and its immediate surroundings, rather than by an entire nation.
In virtually all fields of human endeavor Athens was so much at the forefront of dynamism and innovation that the products of its most brilliant minds remain not only influential but entirely relevant to this day.

kids say this is a good book
as a homeschool mom i liked this book: short and to the point. it was written at an elementary age interest level and reading level. the kids liked it and enjoyed the pictures.
Wet your appetite
Good starting point on who some of the people where but would love some examples or titles. My daughter needs to tie who to what so that's not helpful very but gets you wanting for more
A History of Athens
This book is intended for children but is perfectly suitable for anyone wishing to know about the Greek city of Athens.
