Ancient Greece Unit Study: Book List

Here is the list of books we are using for our Ancient Greece Unit Study, I have included links to amazon or the publisher wherever possible.

• D'Aulaire's Greek Mythology: I have been SOOOOO impressed with this book. Absolutely beautiful illustrations. The kind of illustrations that fire your imagination. The writing is amazing, they never seem to underestimate the child.
• A Guide for using D'Aulaire's Greek Mythology in the Classroom: If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't purchase this one. I have only found one project in here that I couldn't dig up myself online.
• D'Aulaire's Greek Myths Teacher Guide: This book is amazing. Seriously. I am such a picky woman and I could. not. be. happier. My friend Amy turned me onto Memoria press and I have been just nothing but impressed with their curricula. (She really should get some kind of kick back for the reccomendations :) Memoria press elevates this guide to an art form. When we saw this at the conference I nearly mugged her for the book.
• The Wanderings of Odysseus: We have enjoyed this one. It is a good read, but be warned it is tiny print, very tiny print that drives me to my reading glasses.
• Story of the World Volume 1, with activity book: This is our history curriculum for the year and we love love it.
• Magic Tree House: Hour of the Olympics: The kids are loving this one!
• Ancient Greece and the Olympics: a Non fiction companion to the Hour of the olympics

Then we went to the library and checked out so many books on ancient greece that I was walking out like Quasimodo. You know its sad when you bring a stroller to the library, not for the baby (cause you don't have one), but for the books... The librarian just smiled and said "oh you are homeschoolers?"
