Would You Want to Be In Alexander the Great’s Army?

Apparently being in Alexander the Great’s army wasn't so...great. In the pages of You Wouldn't Want To Be In Alexander The Great's Army!: Miles You'd Rather Not March, the reader becomes an active participant, weighed down with armor while marching, under attack from a fireship while building a causeway to Tyre and struggling to survive the snow-blocked pass through the frozen Hindu Kush mountains. Filled with colorful, comical illustrations and sprinkled with a manageable dose of facts, learning becomes practically effortless.

Ages 8-12
