So You Think You’ve Got it Bad? A Kid’s Life in Ancient Greece by Chae Strathie and Marisa Morea is a hilarious new book published in collaboration with Nosy Crow and The British Museum.

In this edition, readers are introduced to life in Ancient Greece in an entertaining and relatable way. Each chapter is colour-coded and covers a separate theme including Clothes and Hairstyles, Family Life, Myths & Legends. Lively, colourful illustrations accompany the text throughout, helping to bring these themes to life. Readers will learn lots of fun, interesting and often disgusting facts about life in Ancient Greece. For example: "clothes in Ancient Greece were often dyed bright colours. But how did they get the colours? Why, SNAILS OF COURSE!" Purple was particularly prized and came from snails and insect larvae! Bleurgh!

Suitable for readers aged 7-10 years old, this book is a fantastic way to introduce children to the topic of Ancient Greece, either at home or in the classroom.
