See Inside Ancient Rome (Usborne Flap Books): 1 Hardcover – Lift the flap, 26 May 2006

This is a lovely book that shows how the Romans used to live. The lift the flap is used to great effect to see interesting and sometimes funny details in the scenes illustrated. A great gift for a child.

I bought this book two years ago for my son (now 8 years old) and he still loves it. It's one of his favourites. The facts are so interesting and it is well illustrated. With so many flaps to lift, they'll be happily entertained for a while.

Bought to introduce young children to the Romans in advance of a trip to Rome. I chose this particular book as we have several in the "Look Inside" Series and they are a great way to engage the interest of younger children. Also the blurb seemed to suggest it was more focused on the actual city of Ancient Rome rather than generic Roman subjects. Unfortunately it was a bit disappointing in that respect. There are generic pages on the army, baths and housing which are covered in all the other Romans books we have looked at. It does relate the gladiator games specifically to the Colosseum but I was disappointed that there was no mention of chariot races/Circus Maximus (maybe a more suitable subject for the Games page than gladiators for younger readers?) or the Panthenon which would have covered two more of the sights of Rome. That said it is a lovely book with wonderful illustrations.

We love all the little flaps. Very informative but fun. My kids loved it (8 & 10)!

Excellent condition! Very happy with this book!

Fun for young ones to learn about romans. Great to reinforce learning at home.

My grandson is going to arome on holiday next year so bought this to talk about the city and its history. He loved it! Fascinated by the wonderfully detailed pictures and information he loved the flaps and insisted on having his " big book" read over and over again!!

Loads of pull- up flaps full of fascinating info gor curious little minds
