Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Another entry in the new generation of multimedia-enhanced “Eyewitness” books, this introduces the cradle of civilization. History, lore, religion, hunting, knowledge, games, arts, crafts, technology, and trade are among some of the topics covered in this book, in the familiar Eyewitness format. Photographs of ancient artifacts and architecture aid in understanding how advanced this civilization was for the time. Each two-page spread features a paragraph overview and numerous photos with detailed captions, whose small font may deter their being read by the more casual browser. Back matter includes a timeline, blurbs about famous people, a glossary, and a brief index. A CD of clip art of the book’s photographs and a wall poster are included; schools may find these items particularly useful. Considered the birthplace of writing, religion, and law, Mesopotamia is often part of middle school curriculum. This book should help students and casual browsers better understand the great contributions made by this area of the world. Reviewer: Peg Glisson
