How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we donโ€™t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

This book is excellent! My 7 year old daughter came up to me yesterday and was telling me facts about ancient Rome. The kids love the flaps! Great illustrations. Just enough history mixed in with fun illustrations to convey the point. I would buy a similar book on any other culture as well. I bought this book in preparation for our trip to Rome this summer. All three of my daughters (5,7,9) have enjoyed it.

2.0 out of 5 starsThe book is fine and what I expected
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on July 16, 2015
The book is fine and what I expected. The condition of the book left a lot to be desired. It was purchased as 'new' but is remarkably shop worn, with crushed corners, etc.

I purchased it as a gift for young children, and it is overdue, so I'll give it to them and not return it. But, it is disappointing quality.

this is the type of book that makes learning fun. It is like a comic book but with realistic drawings of people, their houses, their workplaces, roads, farms, and city layout.

This would be the perfect book to take on an airplane with a child between the ages of 5 and 12. There are so many small illustrations, in addition to the fun of trying to locate the tiny flaps, that this would keep a child occupied for quite a while and each page is constructed of cardboard so it is very durable.

Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on August 13, 2018
This is our sonโ€™s (3 yo) favorite book! We got it in Rome when he was 2 1/2, and heโ€™s about to turn 4 in a couple weeks. We read it almost every night. The pictures and flaps are engaging, and he has learned a lot. The bookโ€™s content is old enough that it will continue to grow with him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for children
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on September 11, 2011
Just had to add a few words about this book. It's designed for young children so is completely appropriate for 5 yrs and up (if not younger.) All illustrations are 'cartoon' type but very accurately depict life in Roman times (since we are studying that era currently we are familiar with such.) The Roman bath scene shows many men rome-ing about (sorry, couldn't resist) who are naked, however, only their buttocks show - again, in cartoon form. Very inoffensive. The Colosseum page shows a very tiny bit of blood under several very small, dead gladiators - all shown from a distance perspective. So please bear this in mind and don't bypass this book for concern of its appropriateness. We are conservative homeschoolers and highly approve of it. My 9 year-old daughter still loves to lift the flaps on books like these to discover what's beneath so clearly it appeals to a broad range of children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on Rome for kids
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on April 2, 2011
This is one of the best books to explain Roman life and history to young kids. The illustrations are beautiful and under the flaps one can find out how things worked. Its also humorous (for example it points out a boy who is late for school!). Wonderful find!

My 8 year old kept coming back to read this over and over. His interest on Ancient Rome is piqued even more with the information he finds inside those flaps in all pages. This was his second Usborne flap book. We got Ancient Greece first, then he asked to get this one and Ancient Egypt next. Good quality books. Great buy!

Bought to introduce young children to the Romans in advance of a trip to Rome. I chose this particular book as we have several in the "Look Inside" Series and they are a great way to engage the interest of younger children. Also the blurb seemed to suggest it was more focused on the actual city of Ancient Rome rather than generic Roman subjects. Unfortunately it was a bit disappointing in that respect. There are generic pages on the army, baths and housing which are covered in all the other Romans books we have looked at. It does relate the gladiator games specifically to the Colosseum but I was disappointed that there was no mention of chariot races/Circus Maximus (maybe a more suitable subject for the Games page than gladiators for younger readers?) or the Panthenon which would have covered two more of the sights of Rome. That said it is a lovely book with wonderful illustrations.
