Several books on the Romans arrived at my house at once. The boys aged 6 and 8 made a bee line for this one. A well illustrated book related to fighting and they love it. The 8 year old is a competant reader but you could see that he was engaged by the illustrations and read it on his own for ages. He was looking and studying the illustrations and reading the supporting text that related to them more than the main body of the text. The book with it's factual base does indeed make a great reference book on the Roman Army for children in this age group (6 - 11 years). The illustrations in this book make it very appealing and informative for children. In fact the illustrations are far more engaging and interesting than the rather dry text which alone would not have captured any child's imagination. However, the text has the right level of vocabulary and the facts contained in it are accurate.
