A Journey Through Time-The Minotaur of Knossos by Roberta Angeletti

As Robbie reads about Ancient Crete for a history assignment, he falls asleep and finds that he has traveled back in time to the palace of Knossos.  Here he meets Sir Arthur Evans who discovered the palace, and the dreaded Minotaur!  The illustrations display the beautiful artwork on the palace walls.

Most of the learning about the Minoans, Crete and the myth surrounding the palace will occur on the last 3 pages where the author shares the history and facts.
My eight year old read this book to himself to support our learning about Crete and early Greek civilizations.
Two times in the book are illustrations depicting a woman with her breasts fully sticking out (it was how the women dressed during this time period.).  The illustrations are small enough that a sticky note can cover them.
-Borrowed from the library.
