In \u003cem\u003eA Kid's Life in Ancient Egypt\u003c\/em\u003e, children discover the gritty reality behind the pyramids, from dodging Deathstalker scorpions and hauling water from wells to eating roast hedgehog and getting the stocks for misbehaving at school. \u003cem\u003eA Kid's Life in Ancient Rome\u003c\/em\u003e, developed in consultation with experts from the British Museum, reveals the odd realities of Roman daily life, including washing clothes in urine, snacking on dormice and the brutal world of gladiatorial combat. \u003cem\u003eA Kid's Life in Ancient Greece\u003c\/em\u003e shows that childhood in Athens or Sparta wasn't all Olympic glory, with kids surviving on strange soups, wearing minimal clothing and memorising epic poems thousands of lines long. Each 64-page paperback combines rigorous, museum-backed research with Chae Strathie's trademark comic voice and lively illustrations, presenting facts through speech bubbles, diagrams and funny asides rather than dense text. The result is history that sticks because it makes children laugh first and learn second - ideal for dipping in and out of, for reading aloud, or for supporting classroom topics on Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLaugh-out-loud learning:\u003c\/strong\u003e funny, accessible language keeps reluctant readers turning pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum-verified facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e developed in consultation with British Museum experts for trustworthy, accurate content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree civilisations, one set:\u003c\/strong\u003e covers Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece in one great-value paperback bundle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom and home-ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e perfect for KS2 history topics, homeschooling or independent reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVivid illustrations:\u003c\/strong\u003e dip-in page design mixes facts, diagrams and humour to hold young readers' attention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChae Strathie is an award-winning children's author and journalist who grew up in a small village in Scotland.
