Has in-depth information that suits older children (I am not sure it should even be in the children's section) and a decent format. However, there are few citations and the book gives in to the stereotype of Cleopatra's death by snake which is hotly contested in the academic world. In fact, many scholars believe that to be a myth and that the truth is far less dramatic. ( ) no reviews | add a review
