Review: Romans Magnified. Romans Magnified is a terrific book for kids, and an especially great choice if they have an interest in history, love reading Asterix, or enjoy interactive books like Where’s Wally?. The book can be experienced in a couple of different ways. There’s text to read which provides an introduction to different aspects of life in Ancient Rome. It starts with explaining what the Roman Empire was, and works through topics like the emperor and senate, public baths, Roman army, reading and writing, roads, Roman markets, family life, and lots more.
Book: The Muddy Chef. I’ve lost count of the number of hours I spent in the garden as a child, making lemon scented perfume, bitter ‘sourgrass’ shots and rose petal jam. My own children too, have been encouraged to build, scoop, scrape, bury and bake in the garden. Mindful, absorbing play. No meditation app required! This wonderful picture book The Muddy Chef, is a testament to child’s play, gumboots and the invention of the washing machine.
