What Was Pompeii? by Jim O'Connor illustrated by John Hinderliter*

A great book to have in the classroom when studying about Roman life and the Vesuvius eruption.
Vesuvius erupting is the premise for the book but Mr. O'Connor delves into the various aspects of Roman life during that time period.  A chapter is dedicated to the discovery of buried Pompeii.
Lots of text features: diagrams, table of content, picture captions, 16 photographs, headings, bold font, time lines, index.
Written in a manner that shows how exciting history is!
*Highly recommend.
Pair with I Survived the Destruction of Pompeii 79 AD and Pompeii . . .Buried Alive! Step into Reading
